Invitation | Fireside Chat on Leadership | September 15
Dear Students,
As part of our ongoing commitment to leadership education, we are introducing a series of ‘Fireside Chats’ with medical leaders. The six chats which will take place over the current academic year are formally part of the PG Leadership Certificate Program, and we are delighted to open them up to our entire community of medical learners at UofT so that all can be inspired and benefit from the wisdom and experience of these faculty. Below are the details for the first fireside chat:
