BARE ACADEMY AWARDS With the support of the Evelyn Burns-Weinrib Education Appreciation Endowment Fund, BARE was delighted to host its first annual Baycrest Academy Awards. The event shone a light on the accomplishments of individuals, teams, and projects that support clinical, interprofessional and research training, and recognized donor-supported opportunities made possible through scholarships and fellowships. Health Discipline Teaching Award: Cindy Brock & Ruth Brickman, Social Work Recognizing health discipline staff — social workers, dietitians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, pharmacists, music therapists, audiologists, chaplains, and other healthcare providers — that have gone above and beyond teaching students as demonstrated by their dedication, commitment, and innovation. Research Training Award: Dr. Rosanne Aleong, Jacob Matthews, and Dr. Jennifer Ryan Recognizing researchers that have demonstrated excellence through their teaching; dedication to the educational experience of research trainees/students; and provision of feedback that encourages growth and reflection. 22 BAYCREST ACADEMY FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION FROM POSTDOC TO RESEARCH FACULTY CRASH COURSE Eight hospital-based research training centres and Toronto universities (Baycrest Academy for Research and Education, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, The Hospital for Sick Children, Sinai Health, Toronto Metropolitan University, Unity Health Toronto, University Health Network, and University of Toronto) launched the From Postdoc to Research Faculty Crash Course. The professional development course aims to prepare the next generation of researchers for the job market, providing an end-to-end curriculum of comprehensive professional development skills and training to support them in their search for a research faculty position. Course topics include academic CVs and cover letters, research statements, teaching dossiers, interviewing, "chalk talks", negotiating, and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion statements. Over 1,200 individuals registered for the course, with over 600 live attendees. Ninety-five per cent of survey respondents reported the program met or exceeded their expectations; 87% believed it helped them prepare to transition into a faculty position. Objective 3.1 Create a culture of ideation, inquiry, collaboration, and continuous learning within and beyond BARE.
