November 11: An Evening with Dr. Carl Elliot

Truth.

Justice.

The Medical Way.

Sometimes the medical way is to do injustice to the truth and its bearers.

When unwelcome truths are revealed, the person doing the exposing can be treated unfairly by both the secret keepers and those expected to be grateful for the light shed, creating a unique form of moral injury.

You are invited to spend an evening with Dr. Carl Elliott as we explore his experience and that of other medical whistleblowers, as described in his book The Occasional Human Sacrifice.

Please join us this Remembrance Day as we honour the memory of those who made personal sacrifices for our freedom, and explore the motivation of those who are driven by serving the value of the greater good despite the costs.

Monday September 29: An Evening with Drs. Ivan Oransky & Adam Cifu

September is traditionally back to school time.

For physicians, school never ends.

Much of that ongoing education is based on the medical literature, and recent times have demonstrated some shakiness in that foundation.

You are invited to spend an evening reflecting on the quality of the current medical literature with Dr. Ivan Oransky and Dr. Adam Cifu.

Dr. Oransky is the director of the Center for Scientific Integrity, which recently received a $900K grant to establish the Medical Evidence Project that will be using the tools of forensic metascience to test the integrity of the medical literature.

Dr. Cifu's latest venture is the Sensible Medicine project (Substack and podcast), and he will be sharing with us his passion for evidence based medicine, exploring the movement’s present strengths and weaknesses.

Please join us for an evening examining the quality control challenges that we all face in our quest to stay current as medical practitioners.

Date: Monday, September 29

Time: 7.30 PM Dr. Oransky’s presentation

           8:30 PM Dr. Cifu’s presentation

(please note, these sessions are independent of each other, so you can attend one or both)
