  • The Royal College Program Directors Handbook: a Practical Guide for Leading an Exceptional Program Preface
    The Royal College program directors handbook: A practical guide for leading an exceptional program Preface Consider the following tale, which will be familiar to many new program directors (PDs) in Canada: When I became a PD in 2000, I thought I knew what I was getting into. I was expecting a rewarding, challenging leadership position in education that would allow me to set a direction and provide support for a future generation of doctors. It turned out to be all of this and more; I’m thankful that the rewards far exceeded my expectations and the challenges were mitigated by a strong support network and resident cohort. But I admit that my initial experiences in the job were largely a trial by fire. I had a brief handover from my predecessor and was given a new book on the “newest thing” in residency education — CanMEDS 2000 — but other than that I was set adrift to run the residency program and seek help when needed. One resource that proved very helpful was the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s annual workshop for new PDs and accreditation surveyors. I was assigned to the surveyor workshop by mistake; it turned out to be very useful, as our accreditation visit was scheduled to take place in 8 short months’ time, and I had still received no instruction on the nuts and bolts of running a program. PDs come to their positions in a variety of ways. way from peers, support staff and residents. Our own Some PDs seek out the role; others are invited to take experiences, then, prompted our desire to help others the job and either embrace the opportunity or accept prepare for their PD roles.

    Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Ophthalmology (338A) - published July 2020 Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Ophthalmology The Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Ophthalmology are a national set of standards maintained by the Royal College for the evaluation and accreditation of Ophthalmology residency programs. The standards aim to ensure the quality of residency education provided across Canada, and ensure Ophthalmology residency programs adequately prepare residents to meet the health care needs of their patient population(s), during and upon completion of training. The standards include expectations specific to the discipline, as well as the expectations set out in the General Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs, which are applicable to all residency programs. In instances where the indicators reflected in the General Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs have been modified within this document to reflect a discipline-specific expectation, the indicator as reflected in this document takes precedence. The standards are intended to be read in conjunction with the national discipline-specific documents for Ophthalmology. 1 © 2020 The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

  • The Odontological Collection at the Royal College of Surgeons of England: a Short Review
    Farrell R E V I E W The odontological collection at the Royal College of Surgeons of England: a short review • Milly Farrell • Royal College of Surgeons of England Address for correspondence: Milly Farrell Museums Department The Royal College of Surgeons of England 35-43 Lincoln’s Inn Fields London, WC2A 3PE E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Bull Int Assoc Paleodont. 2010;4(1):22-26. Abstract This short article will present an overview of the contents of the Odontological Collection based at The Royal College of Surgeons of England, London. This dentally relevant research source has been accrued over the past two centuries and contains both human and animal cranial material that place a focus on the development of the teeth and jaws. Currently used by a range of researchers in a variety of fields, it is hoped that this brief review will encourage those with a palaeodontological interest to consider the Odontological Collection in data collection or for more general dental investigation. Keywords: Odontological Collection; Dental Research; Maxillofacial Development and Pathology The Royal College of Surgeons of England holds several historical and medical collections and contains two museums; the Hunterian Museum and the Wellcome Museum of Anatomy and Pathology. The Odontological Collection forms part of this vast scope of material, containing just over 11,000 skulls and teeth. Two themes are covered by the collection; specimens displaying variations in pathology of the teeth and jaws, and material showing dental development and growth. Two thirds of the collection is animal and one third is human.
