Upcoming Chapter Events !

There are two patient safety seminars next week - this is the case because the HPME seminar that was cancelled on Feb. 10 was moved to next week, where we had already planned our IHI seminar.

Both sessions will be held in the HSB 208 (Health Sciences Building, 155 College St.)

Wed Feb. 24; 4:00-5:30pm HPME Seminar Series: Dr. Jeffrey Alexander from the University of Michigan will give a talk titled "The Science and Practice of Quality Improvement: Developing Capacity to make a Difference".
See http://www.hpme.utoronto.ca/about/events/hsrseminar0910.htm for more details

Thur Feb. 25; 5:30-7:00pm Dr. Michael Rachlis, who is a family physician, health policy analyst, private consultant, author, and an associate professor at U of T will present his thoughts on quality improvement and patient safety, and will facilitate a discussion for our chapter.
