So I am especially pleased to see that the medical profession has set continuing professional development and succession planning as its priorities. Thanks to the dedication and commitment to excellence of Canadian medical educators, leading-edge techniques can be developed in such fields as cardiology, which benefit all Canadians and which are shared with all specialized faculties. I am sure that sharing best practices and expertise will be front and centre at this conference, helping to strengthen the professional ties that already unite all the participants.

Canada represented by the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General DAVID JOHNSTON March 2014 I Dear friends and colleagues, It is my pleasure to welcome you to the heart of the nation’s capital on behalf of the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine as we host you for the 2014 Canadian Conference on Medical Education. This year’s format is unique as we combine the Canadian Conference on Medical Education with the Ottawa Conference, co-founded by the late Dr. Ian Hart, Emeritus Professor at the Faculty, in 1985. Held biennially, the Ottawa Conference is a forum for leaders in healthcare to exchange ideas on the assessment of competence in clinical and non-clinical domains of medical education. The theme of the 2014 conference, “Transforming Healthcare Through Excellence in Assessment and Evaluation”, will benefit greatly from the partnership between both conferences. During your time in Ottawa, I hope you will have the chance to experience firsthand what makes us a national leader in medical education by visiting our health sciences pavilion and centres of excellence which include the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Canada’s first and largest cardiovascular health centre and the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre, the largest centre of its kind in the country. Our affiliated hospitals and research institutes, including The Ottawa Hospital, North America’s largest teaching hospital, are at the forefront of health care and research and are a pivotal part of our success. I am certain you will be captivated by Ottawa: it is the home of many national treasures, including Parliament Hill and the historic Rideau Canal, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located near the provincial border of Quebec and Ontario, the city is enriched by its bilingual environment – a suitable location for the Faculty as Canada’s only bilingual medical school. On behalf of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, I enthusiastically welcome you, colleagues and friends from faculties of medicine across Canada and around the world to the 2014 Canadian Conference on Medical Education. I am looking forward to sharing this experience with you. JACQUES BRADWEJN, MD Letter of Welcome from the Ottawa Conference Committee The Organising Committee of the 16th Ottawa Conference extends a warm welcome to participants from around the world who have come to celebrate 30 years of Ottawa Conferences “back home in Ottawa” where it all began in 1985. Over the years the Ottawa Conference has become synonymous with the state of the art in the assessment of competence in medicine and the healthcare professions, bringing together both experts and those new to the area, facilitating networking and international collaboration. The 16th Ottawa Conference will be no different, with a range of keynote speakers to challenge our thinking, symposia for debate and discussion, oral and poster presentations to share and test out our ideas, and preconference activities and conference workshops to learn in more detail how to implement new methods of assessment based on the experience of others. We are pleased to be sharing this Conjoint Conference with the 12th Canadian Conference on Medical Education. All registered participants may choose to follow the Ottawa Assessment Track, or the CCME Track, or a combination of both. The Conference Program and the Conference App will help you to make the best choices of sessions to attend based on your individual needs. If you need any assistance please ask at the information desk and we will be pleased to help. If you are a regular Ottawa Conference attendee, welcome back! If this is your first Ottawa Conference, we hope you will enjoy the friendly and collegiate atmosphere and that you will return time after time. We wish you a stimulating and enjoyable Conference in the beautiful city of Ottawa.
