Old MacDonald had a farm injury |This is Public Health Lecture

Farming is dangerous business.

It is the fourth most hazardous industry in Canada for injury. And when it comes to fatality rates, there is no profession more dangerous. Why, then, aren't farm workers fairly and equitably protected by legislation in their workplace?

Join researcher Don Voaklander on March 9 for a free public lecture as he examines the frequency, causes and risk factors for farm injury in Alberta.

Voaklander will also discuss barriers to prevention, with a focus on the false notion that farm injuries are "all in a day's work."

If you are unable to attend in person, join us live via Adobe Connect at bit.ly/TIPHFarmSafety. We look forward to seeing you there.

Interprofessional Education Simulation Development Fund - Call for Proposals
Applications are due: May 15, 2017

In alignment with the Health Sciences Council's Strategic Plan, the goal of the Interprofessional Education (IPE) Simulation Development Fund is to support the development and evaluation of sustainable IPE simulations involving, but not limited to, the health sciences. Interprofessional education is when learning occurs with, from and about two or more professions (CAIPE, 2002). Funds are available for the development, implementation and evaluation of 2 collaborative IPE simulation projects up to $10,000 each.

Successful applicants will work with members of the HSERC team to develop and evaluate the IPE simulation, ensuring alignment with HSERC's IPE evaluation framework. The implementation of the IPE simulation may occur in learning experiences, such as the Essentials of Collaborative Practice (ECP) - Experiential Learning sessions (INT D 410) in the fall, Save Stan Simulation or in another course(s) within faculties/programs.

Eligibility: Applications are invited from persons engaged in teaching and learning sessions for students in the health sciences faculties at the University of Alberta. Co-applicants are required on each proposal to demonstrate collaboration across programs. Co-applicants may be from faculties outside the health sciences.

Details and the application form can be found on http://www.hserc.ualberta.ca/

Debrief2Learn new podcast series "Coffee Talk"

Debrief2Learn is proud to announce the launch of the "Coffee Talk" Series of Podcasts - where world experts in simulation, debriefing and feedback provide their thoughts on hot topics. The first podcast is a wonderful discussion featuring Walter Eppich and Michaela Kolbe - who discuss the benefits and challenges of blended-method debriefing for healthcare simulation education.

Debrief2Learn is made up of an interprofessional group of simulation educators and researchers with a passion for feedback and debriefing. They aim to move simulation forward by studying debriefing and disseminating their findings.
