Integrating knowledge translation and faculty development

Clinical Currents is the latest evolution in the Department of Medicine’s long-standing commitment to continuing professional development. It brings together two of our most valued initiatives: Medicine Matters (knowledge translation) and Teach the Teacher (faculty development). By combining these into one accessible, engaging format, Clinical Currents offers a shared home for the conversations that matter most to internal medicine physicians.

Whether exploring advances in clinical care, highlighting new approaches to teaching, or examining quality improvement initiatives, the podcast extends our CPD suite into a format designed for busy professionals – practical, portable, and rooted in the realities of practice across the Maritimes.

Acrreditation
