ASA Monitor Spotlight - University of Toronto: Edgy, Dissatisfied, Curious, and Committed

Our department was featured in the ASA Monitor!

University of Toronto Campus

During our Annual Shields Research Day in May, we had the honour of hosting Dr. Steven Shafer, the distinguished Editor-In-Chief of the ASA Monitor, the official news publication of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. He graced our department with his presence by delivering the keynote address for the 2023 Shields Day Lecture and actively participating in the event. The outcome was truly remarkable. Dr. Shafer has since remarked how deeply impressed he was by the exceptional quality of research produced by our department, especially the passion and dedication exhibited by our esteemed faculty and promising trainees.

To capture this sentiment, please see an excerpt from the Facility Spotlight published in the ASA Monitor following Dr. Shafer's visit.

The report encapsulates the essence of our remarkable department. Our edgy thinking defines us; our perpetual dissatisfaction with the status quo, unquenchable curiosity, and resolute commitment define us.

We extend our appreciation to every one of you for your tireless efforts in positively impacting the lives of our patients and for continuously elevating the standards of our department.
