Tobias Everett

Dr Everett is a British-trained pediatric anesthesiologist and fellow by examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (UK), has subspecialty certification in regional anesthesia from the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and is fellowship trained in pediatric anesthesia by the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. He holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the University of London, UK. He leads the Simulation Program for the University of Toronto Department of Anesthesia. He has overseen the international expansion of the Managing Emergencies in Pediatric Anesthesia (MEPA) simulation course such that the standardized curriculum is available in multiple centres on four continents. His academic interests include simulation-based medical education and medical education research with a specific interest in interprofessional team debriefing and simulation-based assessments.  He is the principal investigator in international multicentre education research studies and has received grant funding from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society.  He sits on the board of directors of the International Pediatric Simulation Society and was chair of the annual scientific meeting of that society. Dr Everett has worked with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeon of Canada, as Faculty on their National Simulation Education and Training program, as the Toronto representative on the Canadian National Anesthesia Simulation Curriculum and member of the organizing committee for the annual Royal College Simulation Summit. Dr Everett has been the recipient of international awards for his work in simulation-based medical education.
