Ian Anderson Continuing Education

Program Educational Goals

Established with a $1 million donation to the University of Toronto from Mrs. Margaret Anderson in memory of her husband.

The lasting legacy of the program will be a network of physicians across Canada who have been trained to care for patients who are terminally ill, as well as helping to shape and remold the attitudes towards dying among physicians, legislators, media and the public.

Program Structure

The Ian Anderson Program promotes a variety of educational techniques including small group problem-based learning, case-based teaching and distance learning. We are committed to integrating our approaches with existing programs and interactive networks. We identify local opinion leaders in order to empower physicians to teach others within their communities. The modules can be adapted to teaching styles based on regional concerns and cultural factors. As an accredited national continuing education program, the education program is tailored to the needs of both family physicians and specialists.
