    Department of Medicine ANNUAL DAY Tuesday, June 11, 2019 Toronto Reference Library, Bram and Bluma Appel Salon 789 Yonge Street, Toronto #DoMAnnualDay We would like to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. Gillian Hawker Welcome 2019 is a big year for us in the Department of Medicine. We’re celebrating 100 years since the establishment of the Sir John and Lady Eaton Professor and Chair of Medicine. The first endowed chair at the University of Toronto, this gift from the Eaton family has had a transformative impact on academic medicine in Canada. Over the last 100 years, as a department we have launched the careers of thousands of physicians who have gone on to provide extraordinary care, to train, mentor and inspire the next generation, and to bring about countless discoveries and breakthroughs that have significantly impacted healthcare locally and globally. Today, I’m thrilled to mark Annual Day as a celebration of the achievements of but a few of our faculty members, and the rich history of our department. To all of our faculty members, thank you for continuing to make our work both joyful and meaningful. To our patients, colleagues, staff, trainees and donors, thank you for all of your support.
