Message from the Chair
I am writing this note during March break! I had a lovely week last week skiing with my sister in Whistler. The break allowed me to put into perspective the disappointing results of the first round of the CaRMS match. We are still unclear about what happened, as I believe our program continues to be strong. Some of our challenges are known, but do not fully explain why Ottawa stands out in Ontario for a poor match result. We can certainly look forward to the many students who
did
match to us and perhaps find out what prompted them to put us first! We can build on this to work toward a solution that encourages all students to make Ottawa the first choice for training in the country. Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can make this a reality?
We invite you to add a comment to our discussion board

Dr. Barb Farrell and the Deprescribing Research Team Launches Deprescribing Guidelines App
|
|
In late February, the Bruyère Deprescribing Guidelines Research Team launched their app for smart devices. Funded by a Knowledge Mobilization Partnership Grant through the Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CABHI), and led by Research Team Pharmacist, Pam Howell, the app houses evidence-based resources that the team has been developing since 2013. Previously only available in hardcopy and for download through the team’s website Deprescribing.org, the app is poised to change the way health care professionals access deprescribing guidelines and how they apply the tools to their practice.
