"Student chat time" is an interactive informal learning opportunity for students to learn about topics of
interest related to geriatric care at Baycrest. The purpose of chat time is for students to develop an
increased understanding about geriatrics and how they can learn with from and about each other to
enhance their learning experience. Some topics covered this year:
– Responsive Behaviours
– Speech Language Pathology
– Community Programs at Baycrest
– Mental Health - A patient's story
IPE Lunch and Learns expand opportunities for students to be exposed to IPE. All students from various
healthcare disciplines are welcome to participate in Lunch and Learns and it is an opportunity for
students to come together to learn about, with and from each other as they transition from students to
interprofessional team members. Some topics discussed in the Lunch and Learn sessions:
– Conflict Resolution
– Team Building
– Gamification
In Collaboration with University of Toronto Multiculturalism in Medicine Society, we offered sessions on
Multiculturalism in Medicine for first year Medical students to expose them to the cultural differences
they may encounter as future physicians and to highlight how important it is to appropriately
incorporated culture in the delivery of care. Students are provided with a tour of Baycrest and a session
led by Rabbi Rena Arshinoff on Jewish culture and the programs Baycrest offer to address cultural
specific needs. 12 medical students participated in this program.
