The (un)Learning Series: Transforming Health Professions education Through Anti-Oppression and Anti-Racism.
This series, consisting of several presentations per year, will reflect a sustained commitment to the important values of equity, inclusion, anti-racism and anti-oppression in Health Professions Education. With panels and speakers, the (un)Learning Series will bring these important topics into a central focus to cultivate national discussion to promote our collective learning and action.
These sessions will be conducted by experienced Canadian educators who will discuss key issues and considerations for educators and teachers looking to enhance the student learning process. During each webinar, a 10 to 15-minute Q&A session will be reserved for questions and answers.
The general objectives of the webinar series are to enable healthcare educators in Canada to:
- Identify current challenges and solutions in healthcare education.
- Consider how these solutions can assist them in their educational and teaching activities.
These sessions will take place at 12 PM EDT and 12 PM PDT to give you more opportunities to join us!

Webinar Title: Physician Grief: An Overlooked Aspect of Health Professional Well-being
Presenter: Dr. Sarah Burm, PhD, Dalhousie University
Biography: Dr. Sarah Burm, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University. A qualitative researcher, Dr. Burm’s research program critically examines the social, cultural, and ethical complexities inherent in advancing institutional and curricular changes within medicine. By listening closely to people’s stories, she investigates how these changes influence the professional identities and wellbeing of both physicians and learners. Her work has been funded by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Nova Scotia Health. In 2022 she was awarded the Early Career Medical Educators Champion Award for her commitment to advancing the growth, success, and recognition of fellow early career medical educators.
Webinar Overview
Physicians face unique challenges that often prevent them from fully experiencing and processing their grief, a reality that became particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to provide a more humanizing perspective on grief in healthcare, Sarah initiated an inquiry into the different types of losses that physicians encounter in the clinical environment. In this webinar, Sarah will discuss the often-overlooked issue of physician grief and the complex discourses surrounding death, dying, and loss. Sarah will challenge conventional ideas of grief, revealing the many forms it can take and discuss the risks and harms that ignoring or avoiding grief can have for those in medical practice and training.
Learning Objectives
After active engagement in this program/session, participants will be better able to:
- Identify the unique challenges associated with expressing grief in medicine and why it often goes unaddressed;
- Discuss the consequences of overlooking grief in medical education and practice;
- Formulate a plan to promote grief literacy within their local contexts.

Webinar Title: Beyond Competencies: The Role of Character-Based Leadership in Medicine
Presenter: Jacqueline Torti, PhD, Western University
Biography: Dr. Jacqueline Torti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine and a Scientist at the Centre for Education Research and Innovation at Western University. Dr. Torti holds a Ph.D. in Public Health Sciences and studies psychosocial elements of healthcare professionals’ learning and practice environments. Her research explores how character and leadership influence teamwork and well-being among interdisciplinary healthcare teams.
Overview: Physician leadership is multifaceted, but leadership training in medicine is often not. Leadership education for physicians typically prioritizes cognitive skills, overlooking the broader, more nuanced aspects of leadership that are essential for modern healthcare environments. Character-based leadership is a conceptual framework that moves beyond cognitive competencies and articulates dimensions of character that promote effective leadership. The webinar will highlight insights from a comprehensive program of research around character-based leadership in medicine. These insights come from a systematic review of leadership training in post-graduate medical education, shedding light on the existing gaps and limitations in current educational approaches. Complementing this, findings from a qualitative study will highlight how character-based leadership transcends conventional paradigms in medical leadership, revealing dimensions that resonate deeply with the humanistic and relational demands of the profession. Together, these insights make a compelling case for embedding character-based leadership into medical education. This webinar will offer critical recommendations for both expanding and enhancing existing leadership training to shape future leaders in medicine.
Learning Objectives:
After active engagement in this program/session, participants will be better able to:
- Identify the limitations of current leadership training in medicine.
- Describe the conceptual framework of character-based leadership
- Illustrate how character-based leadership can be taken up in medical education
