  • Lady Meredith House – Mcgill
    Project Brief: Lady Meredith House – McGill A Restoration fit for a Lady. In 1894, Sir Vincent Meredith and his wife, Lady Meredith, commissioned architect Edward Maxwell to build them a house on land gifted to them by Lady Meredith’s father, located in the Golden Square mile area of Montreal. The Queen Anne style home, with towers, stepped windows and high chimneys, became known as Ardvarna and remained their residence until 1941 when Lady Meredith gave the house and land to the Royal Victoria Hospital for use as a nurses residence. Years later, McGill University acquired the house and remains the owner to this day. Following an attempted arson, the house was completely renovated in 1990 by architects Gersovitz, Becker, and Moss. PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: Name: Lady Meredith House Location: 1110 Avenue de Pins Project Type: Historical Renovation Building Type: Queen Anne Home Year: 1990 Product Series: Marvin Clad Product Types: Single Hungs, Casements, Awnings, Roundtops, Bays Builder: Marien Oldham Ltd. Based on past experience with similar historic renovations, along with their reputation of delivering quality and craftsmanship, Marvin was chosen by the architects to be a key player in this project. Marvin provided 162 units total to the renovation including Clad Single Hungs, Casements, Awnings, Roundtops, and Bays combining Energy Efficiency with Architectural Accuracy. Today, the Lady Meredith House at McGill is a National Historic Site of Canada and still fully functional. ©2018 Marvin Windows and Doors.

  • Mapping Landscapes and Minding Gaps: the Road Towards Evidence Informed Health Professions Education
    The Centre for Medical Education & The Faculty Development Office MEDICAL EDUCATION ROUNDS Mapping Landscapes and Minding Gaps: The Road Towards Evidence Informed Health Professions Education ALIKI THOMAS, PhD, OT (C), Erg. Knowledge Exchange and Education in the Health Professions (K.E.E.P) Lab Assistant Professor, School of Physical and Occupational Therapy Research Scientist, Center for Medical Education Faculty of Medicine, McGill University Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal (CRIR) November 30, 2017 16h00 to 17h30 Meakins Amphitheatre, 5th floor, room 521 McIntyre Medical Sciences Building There is a growing and robust body of research in health professions education. Findings from this evidence base may be used to inform educational practice and policy decisions and ensure accountability to learners and society in providing meaningful and effective education. The goals of the presentation are to: provide an overview of the evidence-informed health professions education movement, includ- ing key ongoing conversations and debates; address the urgency of ‘mapping’ existing educational practices; and highlight the fac- tors that may influence educators’ use of research evidence. The presentation will demonstrate how the emerging field of implementation science provides a useful lens through which to investigate the nature and impact of evidence-informed educational practices and policies in the health professions. ALIKI THOMAS is an occupational therapist and graduate of McGill University. She earned a doc- torate in educational psychology with a major in instructional psychology and a minor in applied cognitive science. She completed post-doctoral training in knowledge translation for evidence-based practice at McMaster University’s School of Rehabilitation Sciences and CanChild Center for Child- hood Disability Research.

AOA Critical Issues Vincent D. Pellegrini Jr., MD, Peter C. Ferguson, MD, MSc, FRCSC, Richard Cruess, MD, Sylvia Cruess, MD, and Timothy W.R. Briggs, MCh, FRCS Presented as a symposium at the Combined Meeting of the American Orthopaedic Association and the Canadian Orthopaedic Association, June 21, 2014, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada The goal of residency programs is to provide an educational venue with graduated responsibility and increasing levels of independence as preparation for entering the unsupervised practice of medicine. Surgical programs are required to both cultivate and convey skills pursuant to three fundamental domains: a sufficient fund of knowledge, technical competence in surgical procedures, and a degree of professionalism to enable ethical independent practice. Never before has the expec- tation that residency programs provide graduated responsibility in preparation for entering the unsupervised practice of medicine been so clearly articulated as it has by Nasca in the recent Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) work-hour guideline revisions. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons has provided similar guidance in Canada. Yet, as we progress further into the second decade of work-hour restrictions, it is unclear that we have adequately defined or can recognize the critical end points essential to trainee competency. What is clear is that we must achieve these end points in a manner different from that prior to the introduction of work-hour restrictions.
