DESCRIPTION:About this series – Telehealth for Genetics Residents and Fellows. A monthly teaching session brought to you by the members of the RCPSC Specialty Committee in Medical Genetics. \nMedical Genetics And Choosing Wisely Canada\nDr. Tyler Peikes \nThe Choosing Wisely movement has grown tremendously internationally across all disciplines in medicine\, as well as nursing and allied health. Choosing Wisely Canada launched in 2014 and has since fostered dialogue at the level of national clinician societies to inform individual practitioners as well as shape policy. CCMG has been actively involved since 2015\, initially publishing a list of “5 tests and treatments to question.” This list was recently updated with 7 additional recommendations. This presentation will introduce trainees to Choosing Wisely and then review the Medical Genetics recommendations in depth to frame experiences in training and direct further learning. \nLearning Objectives \n\nReflect on the “Choosing Wisely” movement and philosophy.\nDescribe the consensus-building approach to successful collaboration.\nReview the 12 recommendations\, rationales and evidence.\nApply the recommendations to practice and further learning.\n\nBio\nDr. Peikes is a practicing medical geneticist and healthcare ethics consultant in Winnipeg\, Manitoba. He graduated from Queen’s University with a B.A.(honours) in Philosophy. He completed his M.D. at the University of Manitoba and M.A.(Bioethics and Health Policy) at Loyola University Chicago. He serves as a member of the University of Manitoba Health Research Ethics Board and is the director of the Clinical Ethics Service for the main tertiary care hospital complex in Winnipeg. \nDr. Peikes joined the Ethics\, Education and Public Policy (E2P2) CCMG committee in 2019 and has served as the Choosing Wisely Canada representative since then. \nDates \nSeptember 16 – UBC\nOctober 14 – TBD\nNovember 18 – TBD\nDecember 16 – Ottawa\nJanuary 20 – Calgary\nFebruary 17 – McGill\nMarch 17 – TBD\nApril 14 – Toronto\nMay 19 – Manitoba\nJune 16 – Montreal \nClick HERE to register. \n

She is currently Chair of the ClinGen expert panel on variant curation in peroxisome disorders (2019- present)\, Advisory Board member of the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease (2016-present) and previously served as Chair of the Therapeutics Committee of the American College of Medical Genetics (2017-2019)\, member of the Board of Directors of the Society for Inborn Errors of Metabolism (2009-2014)\, member of the New York Mid-Atlantic Consortium for Genetic and Newborn Screening Services (2007-2009). She received her MSc in Genetic Counseling at Sarah Lawrence College\, her MD degree from Tulane University School of Medicine\, did her pediatrics residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital\, pediatrics chief residency at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore\, and her genetics fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. She has authored more than 120 peer-reviewed publications and six book chapters\, including peroxisomal disorders in Rudolph’s Pediatrics. As a clinician-scientist\, she has dedicated her career to the study of Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorders\, initially identifying the disease genes\, characterizing the mutation spectrum\, generating novel mouse models to study disease pathophysiology and trial candidate therapies. She has been recognized with multiple research and teaching awards.  \nDates \nSeptember 16 – UBC\nOctober 14 – TBD\nNovember 18 – TBD\nDecember 16 – Ottawa\nJanuary 20 – Calgary\nFebruary 17 – McGill\nMarch 17 – TBD\nApril 14 – Toronto\nMay 19 – Manitoba\nJune 16 – Montreal \nClick HERE to register.

SUMMARY:TeleGraf January 2023
DESCRIPTION:About this series – Telehealth for Genetics Residents and Fellows. A monthly teaching session brought to you by the members of the RCPSC Specialty Committee in Medical Genetics. \nJanuary 20th – Inborn Errors Of Metabolism In Adults: Challenges And Opportunities In An Emerging Distinct Population \nAdvances in the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism have resulted in an emerging population of adult\npatients who face unique challenges in diagnosis\, management and transition to adult care. Approaching these patients as a\ndistinct population can provide a foundation for further research\, and facilitate improvements in the care of adult metabolic\npatients. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify unique management considerations in the transition to adult care for patients with childhood-onset IEMs\nDistinguish adult-onset IEMs from classic presentations and discuss associated challenges in diagnosis and management\nOutline future directions for the advancement of care in adults with IEMs\n\n\n  \nSpeaker: Eliza Phillips\nBio:\nEliza Phillips is a clinical geneticist and metabolic physician working at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary\, Alberta. She\nrecently completed her medical genetics residency at the University of Calgary\, and hasdeveloped particular interests in adult\nmetabolics and medical education. \n  \nDates \nSeptember 16 – UBC\nOctober 14 – TBD\nNovember 18 – TBD\nDecember 16 – Ottawa\nJanuary 20 – Calgary\nFebruary 17 – McGill\nMarch 17 – TBD\nApril 14 – Toronto\nMay 19 – Manitoba\nJune 16 – Montreal \nClick HERE to register.
