Description
Despite the central role of writing in determining the success of Master’s and PhD students, there has traditionally been little explicit instruction in or sustained professional attention to writing during graduate education. Those fortunate enough to have conscientious and articulate supervisors may learn under their tutelage, and others improve by forming writing groups or otherwise soliciting critical feedback. But most scholars who become proficient writers do so by a process of osmosis, observation, and trial and error. Read more.

Jan 26: FILMS THAT TRANSFORM
Join McGill Medical Faculty and friends in viewing and discussing remarkable films that challenge, shed light, empower and encourage us to explore the meaning of healing and “wellness” in the context of conflict and illness.
The Doctor (1991)
Jack McKee is a doctor with it all: he’s successful, he’s rich, and he has no problems…. until he is diagnosed with throat cancer. Now that he has seen medicine, hospitals, and doctors from a patient’s perspective, he realizes that there is more to being a doctor than surgery and prescriptions. The film was based on the memoir of real-life surgeon Ed Rosenbaum, entitled “A Taste of My Own Medicine”.
The film presentation will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Tom Hutchinson, Director, McGill Programs in Whole Person Care, and invited guests.
Date/Time: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM
Location: Arts Building, Moyse Hall, 853 Sherbrooke Street West

Dr. Jordan Cohen
The Education Design Group of the Faculty of Medicine Strategic Planning Process is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Dr. Jordan Cohen on Wednesday, January 27th, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. in the Meakins Amphitheatre. Dr. Cohen will speak on “Medical Education in an Era of Health Care Reform”.
Dr. Cohen is professor of medicine and public health at George Washington University and president emeritus of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). As president and chief executive officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) from 1994 to 2006, Dr. Cohen led the Association’s support and service to the nation’s medical schools and teaching hospitals. He launched new initiatives in each of the association’s mission areas of education, research and patient care; expanded and modernized the AAMC’s services for medical students, applicants, residents, and constituents; strengthened the association’s communications, advocacy, and data gathering efforts, and established many initiatives for improving medical education and clinical care. As the voice of academic medicine for more than a decade, Dr. Cohen also spoke extensively on the need to promote greater racial and ethnic diversity in medicine, to uphold professional and scientific values, and to transform the nation’s health care system.
Prior to his leadership of the AAMC, he served as dean of the medical school and professor of medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and president of the medical staff at University Hospital. Before that, Dr. Cohen was professor and associate chairman of Medicine at the University of Chicago-Pritzker School of Medicine, and physician-in-chief and chairman of the Department of Medicine at the Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center.
We hope that you will be able to attend this important event. Please RSVP to Melissa.knock@mcgill.ca.
