Dr. Jesse Goldmacher is a staff anesthesiologist at Toronto Western Hospital and an active education leader at the University of Toronto. Now entering his second year as Resident Site Coordinator at Toronto Western Hospital, he oversees resident rotations, curriculum delivery, and assessment. He is also the Founder and Director of the hospital’s Simulation Centre, where he leads high-fidelity simulation training. Dr. Goldmacher has led senior revision tutorials for PGY-5 residents, Royal College-level oral exam preparation sessions, as well as preparatory sessions for the International Medical Graduate oral exam program at the University. He has contributed exam content at both the departmental and RCPSC levels and has published research on assessment in anesthesiology.
