Interesting seminars (webinars and podcasts) from expert faculty and presenters
Join us for the ever changing Faculty Development offerings via the Professional Development Seminar Series. This Series will include a multi-pronged and multimedia approach to the information you need to develop skills, knowledge, and connection delivered by content experts, thought leaders and innovators. The online nature of the live or recorded webinars and podcasts means you can access from whenever you have time and wherever you have internet, allowing you to attend in real time or watch/listen when convenient. The topics presented will be selected by faculty leaders in the four thematic areas outlined below:
Podcasts
Leadership PRN series: Leadership PRN is Dalhousie Faculty of Medicine’s podcast for leaders whether formal or informal, established or emerging.

Future episodes of the Leadership PRN podcast will cover topics such as educating residents about leadership, whether coaching is right for you, and how leaders can help their teams manage stress. To suggest a topic or someone you would like to hear interviewed, contact Lara.Hazelton@dal.ca or facdev@dal.ca.
From the visual and performing arts to the history of medicine, we believe in the value of having medical professionals and faculty engage in the humanities. Wherever you are in your career or your lifelong learning there is something for everyone to gain from humanizing medicine. Integrating medical humanities will: stimulate your creativity; sustain your energy; support the compassion required to provide excellence in care; develop your capacity for critical thinking and improve your communication and advocacy skills.
Sessions will be posted as confirmed.

These sessions will focus on personal promotion and leadership skill development and will develop your ability and inspiration to reach for the next level or to lead with confidence from where you are now.
