We’ve seen immense growth, life-changing research advance- ments and innovative shifts in health care that are improving lives every day. Our school has grown from one single building, the Health Sciences Centre, to a campus with world- class facilities such as the Advanced Technical Skills Simulation Laboratory (ATSSL), the Ward of the 21st Century, and the International Microbiome Centre. The number of students enrolled in our Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) program has in- creased from thirty-two in 1970 to 487 (in all years combined) in 2020. The number of programs we offer has also risen. In addition to our UME program, which is one of only two three-year medical programs in Canada, we also offer a Bachelor of Health Sciences program, a Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation program, graduate and post-graduate medical education programs, and continuing medical education and professional development programs. We also offer a highly regarded Leaders in Medicine program, which provides motivated students with the opportunity to complete both a medical and graduate degree. In addition to our education programs, the Cumming School of Medicine—which was renamed in 2014 to honour a $100 million gift from Geoffrey Cumming that was matched by the Government of Alberta—is home to seven research institutes that are working to better the lives of people in southern Alberta and beyond. We’ve seen great developments, including the creation of the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH) database, the discovery that a common acne medication can slow the progress of multiple sclerosis (MS), a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases that resulted in a $1 billion collaboration and license agreement between Parv- us Therapeutics and California-based Genentech (Roche Group), and research that has changed stroke treatment around the world. This type of research is possible because of our willingness to take risks and try new things—qualities that have come to define us.

  • A Comparative Study of Canada and Mexico.” Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (71), 8-16
    William Leeming and Ana Baharona. 2018. “Synthesis, Convergence and the Early Adoption of Cytogenetics in Medicine: A Comparative Study of Canada and Mexico.” Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences (71), 8-16. (Accepted Author Version) Authors: William Leeming and Ana Baharona Title: Synthesis, Convergence and Differences in the Entangled Histories of Cytogenetics in Medicine: A Comparative Study of Canada and Mexico Abstract: It is now commonplace for historians to say medical genetics began around sixty years ago with the synthesis and convergence of human genetics and cytological techniques in European centres which, in turn, were disseminated to centres in the United States in a more or less straightforward manner to become a new field of expertise in medicine and clinical research, i.e., cytogenetics. In this article, we show how the early histories of cytogenetics in Canada and Mexico unfolded against strikingly different backgrounds in clinical research and the delivery of health care. A key argument follows that the field of cytogenetics did not necessarily come together and develop the same way in all countries. The article begins with a brief background to the history of human cytogenetics. There follows two sections outlining the early adoption of cytogenetics in Canada and Mexico. Conclusions are then drawn using comparisons of the different ways local determinants affected adoption. This leads, in a final step, to suggestions for directions for future study concerning the ways circuits of practices, collaborative research, and transfers of knowledge have shaped the ways that cytogenetics has been organised in medicine around the world. Keywords: Medical Genetics, Cytogenetics, Karyotyping, Transnational perspective on history, Entangled histories 1 1.

  • Calgary Jewish Community Council and Its Successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, During an Incredibly Busy and Productive Year
    Rededicating Renewing Rejewvenating Annual Report 2010 – 2011 | 5771 President and Interim Executive Director’s Message It is a real pleasure to share in these pages the accomplishments of Calgary Jewish Community Council and its successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, during an incredibly busy and productive year. Our efforts this past year have been focused on renewing and “rejewvenating” our Jewish community through education, inclusion and leadership development. We reached in to the unaffiliated and reached out to the greater Calgary community. And we are proud to say that we brought the joys of “doing Jewish” to an increasing number of men, women and children. We have a new name and new logo. Calgary Jewish Federation is now our community’s central funding, planning and coordinating body, completing a process that began with our March 2007 Strategic Plan for Ensuring the Future of the Jewish Community. This year, Federation and CJCC share one annual report. Henceforth, we will operate independently of one another. CJCC will continue to proudly serve the community, but will function independently as a not-for-profit organization tasked with coordinating local Israel advocacy efforts and promoting projects and programs with our sister region of Etzba HaGalil (the Galilee Panhandle) in Northern Israel. Another major undertaking during the past year was our search for a new Executive Director, and we are very pleased to welcome Drew Staffenberg back to Calgary in that capacity. Having served the community so capably from 1983 through 1993, Drew returns to us with outstanding experience in campus development and we are thrilled that he will help us to achieve our dream of a Jewish community campus.
