PUTTING COMMUNITIES
ICEMEN 2016 (International conference on Community Engaged
Medical Education in the North) is a five-day conference exploring
themes of social accountability and community engagement
in medical education and research. With a theme of The Story of
Community Engaged Health Professional Education and Research:
The Community in the Driver’s Seat, ICEMEN 2016 will investigate
how community-driven health education and research builds
healthy communities.
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine’s (NOSM) Northern
Health Research Conference (NHRC) has been held annually
since 2006. It provides an opportunity for researchers in the
region to present their research and exchange research ideas.
The conference demonstrates NOSM’s commitment to research,
health care, and education to the people of Northern Ontario
and beyond. The NHRC explores research activities arising from
community-based activities and highlights projects under way
from students, residents, and community-based researchers.
The conference provides opportunities for collaboration and
networking.
The overall goal of the Indigenous Research Gathering is to
provide an opportunity for researchers (including researchers who
themselves are Indigenous) to come together to acknowledge
past experiences, conduct ceremonies for healing, generate future
opportunities for positive and respectful relationships between
Indigenous communities and researchers, and plan a new and
positive path forward. The Gathering, which will be held in Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario, is on The Traditional Territory of the Ojibway
Peoples of Baawaating, neighboring the community of Garden
River First Nation.
Conference on the Move showcases several communities that
partner with NOSM on a trip that will start in Toronto, stop on
Manitoulin Island, and conclude in Sault Ste. Marie prior to the
ICEMEN 2016 o
pening ceremonies. Conference on the Move
will focus on social accountability, community engagement,
and cultural inclusivity in Northern Ontario, as a gateway to
understanding the health of the people and communities of the
region. Participants will also experience wilderness medicine,
Indigenous culture, and learn about the history of Northern
Ontario.

A Message from Your Conference Co-Chairs
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) and Flinders University are pleased to welcome
you to ICEMEN 2016! We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land and Elders past, present,
and future, and thank them for welcoming us to their lands.
ICEMEN 2016 is the fifth in a series of biannual conferences exploring community-engaged medical
education and social accountability in a global forum. Like those that came before it, ICEMEN 2016
is a great opportunity to learn from and with a diverse international audience about distributed,
community-engaged medical and health professional education, research, and service. This year we
are Putting the Community in the Driver’s Seat and aim to have a strong community voice—from both
Canada and Australia—throughout the conference.
Dr. Marion Briggs
Flinders University and NOSM are also proud to collaborate with THEnet (Training for Health
Equity Network), a global learning community of schools committed to transforming healthprofessional education to improve health equity. Their involvement reminds us of our common deep
commitment to social accountability.
There are three additional exciting conference experiences this week:
• Conference on the Move will bring some of our guests to ICEMEN 2016 via Northern Ontario’s
magnificent Manitoulin Island. On their way to Sault Ste. Marie, participants will engage in
educational activities on the bus, participate in a Wilderness Medicine Simulation, and learn about
Indigenous culture.
• The Indigenous Research Gathering will explore the history and future of Indigenous health
research. This important event seeks to develop principles of research relationships based on
respect, justice, full participation and leadership of, by, and for Indigenous populations.
• The Northern Health Research Conference will present a wide range of biomedical,
environmental, community health, and health services research projects pertinent to the North.
Dr. Leesa Walker
A conference like this would not be possible without the support of many. We thank our sponsors
(listed on pages 83-84 of the program), whose contributions to our cause are invaluable. Sincere
thanks to all who served on the committees and reviewed abstracts. Finally, a huge thank you to the
administrative staff that helped keep everything on track. Without their commitment and attention
to detail, we would be unable to bring you this marvelous conference.
We hope that you will also join us for dinner on Thursday to celebrate 10 years of NOSM! We will take
the opportunity throughout the conference to reflect on the impact NOSM has had and how this
might inform your practice.

Message from the Northern Ontario
School of Medicine
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you the 2016 International conference on Community
Engaged Medical Education in the North (ICEMEN). This year at the Northern Ontario School of
Medicine, we are celebrating an important anniversary—it has been 10 years since we admitted
our first class of MD students! I hope that you feel the excitement of this marker in NOSM’s history—
we couldn’t be more proud to celebrate the successes of all Northern Ontarians in creating and
sustaining a medical school for the North.
It is fitting that ICEMEN 2016 is being held in Sault Ste. Marie. “The Soo,” as it is affectionately called,
has played an important part in NOSM’s history and development. In fact, before the School even
opened its doors, Sault Ste. Marie hosted the School’s first curriculum development workshop to
gather community input about what NOSM-trained doctors should be taught. While there have
been changes made to the curriculum since then, the unique curricular model developed at that
Sault Ste. Marie meeting is still in use, and has been a key feature of NOSM’s international reputation
in medical education. To this day, Sault Ste. Marie is vital to the education of the next generation of
health-care professionals, where dedicated faculty provide MD students, residents, and allied-health
professionals with the high-quality, hands-on education that has become a hallmark of the North.
ICEMEN 2016 is the continuation of an exciting near decade of conferences that highlight
community engagement and social accountability in health professional education and research.
With a theme of The Story of Community Engaged Health Professional Education and Research: The
Community in the Driver’s Seat, ICEMEN 2016, along with its partner events—the Indigenous Research
Gathering and the Northern Health Research Conference—brings together health professionals,
educators, students, and researchers from all parts of the world to explore how community-driven
health education and research builds healthy communities.
To our conference partners—Training for Health Equity Network (THEnet) and Flinders University,
Australia—their members, and to all conference registrants, I extend a warm, personal welcome
and encourage you to forge new educational and research relationships during your time at
ICEMEN 2016. What brings all of us here is a commitment to social accountability and community
participation in education, research and service, so I suspect you’ll find no shortage of passion and
dedication amongst your new colleagues.
As NOSM celebrates 10 years, we are saying “thank you, merci, and miigwetch” to each and every one
for your valuable contributions to medical education and research. Thank you for being involved in
socially accountable research and education that responds to the health needs of rural and remote
communities—in Northern Ontario and around the world. In addition, I extend an extra special
thanks to all those that have supported this conference, and who have dedicated countless hours to
ensure that each of us enjoys an exceptional ICEMEN 2016 conference in the coming days.

Un message de l’École de médecine du
Nord de l’Ontario
C’est avec grand plaisir que je vous souhaite la bienvenue à la conférence internationale de 2016 sur
la formation en médecine faisant appel aux communautés du Nord (ICEMEN). Cette année, l’École
de médecine du Nord de l'Ontario (EMNO) célèbre un anniversaire important : voilà maintenant dix
ans qu’elle a accueilli sa toute première classe d’étudiants en médecine! J’espère que vous voyez
avec enthousiasme ce point marquant de l’histoire de l'EMNO. Nous ne pourrions pas être plus fiers
de célébrer le succès de la population du Nord de l'Ontario qui a créé et conserve une école de
médecine pour le Nord.
Il est tout à fait approprié de tenir ICEMEN à Sault Ste. Marie. Le « Soo » comme on l’appelle
familièrement, a joué un rôle important dans l’histoire et le développement de l'EMNO. En fait, avant
même que l’École n’ouvre ses portes, la ville avait été le siège du premier atelier de conception du
programme d’études qui visait à recueillir les perspectives de la communauté sur ce qu’il faudrait
enseigner aux médecins formés à l'EMNO. Même si le programme d’études a quelque peu changé
depuis, le modèle unique d’enseignement conçu à la réunion de Sault Ste. Marie est encore utilisé
et occupe une place clé dans la réputation internationale de l'EMNO concernant la formation en
médecine. Encore aujourd’hui, Sault Ste. Marie joue un rôle vital dans la formation de la prochaine
génération de professionnels de la santé car un corps professoral dévoué fournit aux étudiants en
médecine, aux résidents et aux professionnels paramédicaux un enseignement pratique de haute
qualité qui est devenu une caractéristique marquante du Nord.
ICEMEN 2016 couronne près d’une décennie passionnante de conférences qui mettent en lumière
l’engagement communautaire et la responsabilité sociale en matière de formation de professionnels
de la santé et de recherche. Sur le thème de la communauté aux commandes de la formation de
professionnels de la santé et de la recherche (The Story of Community Engaged Health Professional
Education and Research : The Community in the Driver’s Seat), ICEMEN et ses événements connexes (le
Rassemblement des partenaires autochtones pour la recherche et la Conférence sur la recherche en
santé dans le Nord), regroupent des professionnels de la santé, des éducateurs, des étudiants et des
chercheurs de partout au monde qui viennent voir comment la formation et la recherche en santé
commandés par la communauté construisent des communautés en santé.
Je souhaite personnellement la bienvenue à tous nos partenaires, notamment Training for Health
Equity network (THEnet) et la Flinders University (Australie), leurs membres et tous les participants à
la conférence, et je vous encourage à forger de nouvelles relations éducationnelles et de recherche
pendant ICEMEN 2016. Étant donné que ce qui nous rassemble ici est la responsabilité sociale et
la participation communautaire à l’éducation, à la recherche et au service, j’ai l’impression que la
passion et le dévouement ne manqueront pas chez vos nouveaux collègues.
À l’heure où l'EMNO célèbre ses dix ans, nous disons « merci, thank you, et miigwetch » à chacun
de vous pour vos précieuses contributions à la formation en médecine et à la recherche. Merci de
participer à la recherche et à l’éducation socialement responsables qui répondent aux besoins des
communautés rurales et éloignées du Nord de l'Ontario et du monde entier. De plus, je remercie
spécialement toutes les personnes qui ont contribué à l’organisation de cette conférence et y ont
consacré d’innombrables heures afin que chacun de nous assiste à une conférence exceptionnelle au
cours des prochains jours.

Message from Flinders University
Welcome to ICEMEN 2016, the fifth in a series of global conferences hosted by the Northern Ontario
School of Medicine and Flinders University that focus our hearts and minds on community-engaged
medical education.
Never has community engagement been more important in academic medicine. Many are calling for
radical reforms. The Editor of The BMJ, Fiona Godlee, recently lamented that some medical researchers
were like puppets under the control of big pharma. Similar calls for change are being made in
relation to the for-profit corporatisation of medical education in South Asia and other regions.
And yet business and profit per se are not antithetical to public good. In many publicly funded
medical education systems, significant financial cuts are being made to the point where concerns
over quality are growing. Or if it isn’t cuts, it is increasing numbers of students in teaching hospitals
not designed for such numbers. And we still have a totally predictable mal-distribution of medical
graduates to the detriment of communities that need them most.
So where and how do we create a plumb line for medical education?
The answer surely has to involve the community we serve. More than ever this must not be limited
to a mere consultation or information sharing process. The ethical choices confronting medical
education designers require active participation of communities, or, as authors from our two schools
have recently suggested—putting communities in the driver's seat!
Such an approach often appears radical to self-accrediting universities. We learn how to do this
effectively and safely through sharing our often tentative and sometimes bold experiences with
each other. Listening, testing, critically analysing and creating new ideas together that will touch our
various worlds.
I look forward to a wonderful meeting.

Message from THEnet
A heartfelt welcome to ICEMEN 2016.
These are both exciting and challenging times. The “us versus them” narrative looms large—as
expressed in discussions on the global response to terrorism, immigration debates in the US and
Australia, and the response to the refugee crisis in Europe. Social injustice and inequities within
and across countries is deepening the divide in many places. Yet, these global challenges are also
prompting greater solidarity, more community engagement, social accountability, and focus on
social determinants of health and inequities. We are thrilled that this conference is addressing how
health workforce education institutions can act to help respond to these challenges.
In health workforce education we see many positive developments. Social accountability is being
firmly placed in the World Federation of Medical Education standards and in the World Health
Organization Guidelines on Transforming and scaling up health professionals’ education and training.
Social accountability and the social determinants of health are also part of the Global Strategy on
Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030, approved by the world’s ministers of health at the
World Health Assembly last May. The Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education
convened by the U.S.-based National Academy of Sciences Health and Medicine Division recently
published a framework on Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of
Health and created an Innovation Collaborative on Learning through Community Engagement.
Many of you who are attending this conference have influenced these global developments.
However, as we celebrate some successes, we still have a lot to learn and challenging work ahead.
It is a good time for critical reflection to ensure we challenge our own orthodoxies. Here are some
questions to ponder:
•
What exactly should health workforce education institutions be held to account for?
•
Who is holding us accountable?
•
How are we engaging in addressing root causes of health inequities?
•
How do we make sure we nurture our relationships to communities we partner with?
•
Are we sometimes contributing to negative narratives by still framing the people we serve in
terms of deficits, making us the heros and those we serve the problem?
THEnet is excited to be here at ICEMEN 2016 and looks forward to engaging with this growing
global movement of health workforce education institutions striving towards social accountability
and committed to reducing health inequities. We look forward to learning from all of you and hope
we can use this gathering to foster closer relationships, build alliances, and galvanize critical thinking
and action towards making sure everyone has an opportunity to lead a happy and healthy life.

opportunity to experience yet another teaching community—Sault Ste. Marie—that is an
invaluable part of NOSM’s wider campus of Northern Ontario. In addition, we are excited
to culminate a celebration of NOSM’s 10th anniversary—a decade of making a difference in
the North—at ICEMEN 2016. Whether you are associated with NOSM or not, I believe this
anniversary offers us all an opportunity to celebrate our successes over the last few years
when it comes to rural and remote health education and research around the world, and
set our sights on future goals about how we can better serve our learners, patients, and
communities. Best wishes for a great conference.

Message from the Mayor
Congratulations to the Northern Ontario School of Medicine for hosting the ICEMEN 2016
conference on June 20-25, 2016 in Sault Ste. Marie.
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine is a true regional resource for the people of Northern
Ontario. The ICEMEN 2016 conference and related events such as the Indigenous Research Gathering
and the Northern Health Research Conference are incredibly valuable. They encourage needed
dialogue and the exchange of innovative ideas on how to improve health care and quality of life in
Northern Ontario.
To all those who have travelled here from afar for the conference, welcome to our community. While
you are visiting our Naturally Gifted city, I hope you have time to dine out at some of our exceptional
restaurants, enjoy our variety of shopping, and experience some of our many attractions. You can
learn about local history at one of our museums or enjoy a leisurely stroll along our waterfront
boardwalk or HUB trail network.

On behalf of the Canadian Government and community of Sault Ste. Marie, I would like to extend
my sincere thanks to the Northern Ontario School of Medicine for all of the work they have done to
improve the health of the people of Northern Ontario.
Thank you to the nearly 300 researchers and thought leaders from Canada, and around the world,
who have come to Sault Ste. Marie to work together to explore social accountability and community
engagement in medical education and research. I am greatly appreciative of all those who have
worked so hard to organize this event and to make it possible.
Finding meaningful solutions to the specific health-care needs of Northern Ontario is important to
our government, and this conference is an excellent step on the path to quality health care.
I would like to welcome to Sault Ste. Marie all of the guests of the International conference on
Community Engaged Medical Education in the North. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Terry Sheehan, MP

As the Member of Provincial Parliament for Sault Ste. Marie, I would like to extend a warm welcome
to all participants of the International conference on Community Engaged Medical Education in the
North and partner events, the 11th annual Northern Health Research Conference and the Indigenous
Research Gathering.
These events provide an excellent opportunity to bring together national and international
researchers, health-care professionals, students, and community members to share new ideas and
emerging trends in the field of medicine.
I would like to thank the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, the organizing committee, presenters,

The fifth in a series of biannual conferences hosted by the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and
Flinders University, we welcome you to Sault Ste. Marie, Northern Ontario, Canada, where we are Putting
Communities in the Driver’s Seat!
About the Conference Hosts
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) is the first medical school to open in Canada
in over 30 years. Since its official opening in 2005, the School has developed and delivered a
distinctive model of distributed, community engaged, and socially accountable medical education
and research. NOSM serves as the Faculty of Medicine of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and
Laurentian University in Sudbury, with over 90 teaching and research sites across NOSM's wider
campus of Northern Ontario. NOSM is a made-in-the-North solution that is attracting attention from
around the world for its innovative model. A world leader in community-engaged medical education
and research, the School stays true to its social accountability mandate of contributing to improving
the health of the people and communities of Northern Ontario.
>> nosm.ca
The Flinders University School of Medicine has an international reputation for integration and
innovation in patient care, education and research. As a member of the Global Health Education
Network and a founding member of the The Training for Health Equity Network: THEnet, the School
is also committed to being accountable to the community it serves, both locally and internationally.
The Flinders University School of Medicine’s main campus is situated in Adelaide, South Australia and
co-located within Flinders Medical Centre, an academic medical centre combining a tertiary teaching
hospital and medical school. The School is affiliated with other hospitals in the Southern Region of
Adelaide and has a significant and expanding rural and remote presence with clinical training and
research activities in regional areas of Australia.

We envision a world of healthy, resilient communities—regardless of gender, ethnicity, wealth or
geography—accessing quality health services from robust health systems. Based on the experience
and successful strategies of our founding schools, Training for Health Equity Network (THEnet)
is a global movement advocating for socially accountable transformative health workforce
education. THEnet seeks to align health workforce education to meet local needs, including ensuring
community engagement. We know that families have better health outcomes when health providers
understand and respond to the particular needs of the communities they serve.

Maximize Your Conference Experience
We want you to get the most out of attending ICEMEN 2016. Here are some tips to help make your
experience the best it can be.
Hours/Info
Introduce yourself by name.
Registration takes place in the main
foyer at the Delta Waterfront Hotel
and Convention Centre.
Introduce yourself by name to everyone—even to people you have met before, or who
you think should know you. The biggest opportunity you have at a conference is to
network. People may choose not to greet you or connect with you because they are
embarrassed they have forgotten your name.

07:00 – 21:00
•
07:00 – 14:00
Exchange contact information.
One of the particular values of attending a conference in person is the opportunity to
meet other like-minded people. Don’t pass up the opportunity to take advantage of
the large number of educators and professionals attending ICEMEN 2016. Hand out
business cards with your contact information and return home with invaluable contacts
and an expanded professional network.
Get social with our media.
Follow us on Twitter @ICEMEN2016, as we tweet live news, updates, and information
relating to the conference. Connect with us on Facebook at ICEMEN2016. It’s an
excellent way to connect with other speakers and attendees before, during, and after the
conference. See page 22 for more information.
Don’t exhaust yourself!
Be sure to include some quiet time into your days to refresh your energy level. Mix
up your experiences by attending a variety of presentation formats, so you do not
become fatigued by repetition of structure. Wind down your busy days by enjoying the
receptions and social events with your fellow delegates.

About Sault Ste. Marie
Sault Ste. Marie (also know as "the Sault" or "the Soo") is a city located on the St. Marys River in
Ontario, Canada. The third largest city in Northern Ontario, Sault Ste. Marie has a population of
approximately 75,000.
Sault Ste. Marie is one of the oldest settlements in North America. For at least 2,000 years, people
have lived beside the rapids of the St. Marys River such as missionaries, explorers, voyageurs, artists,
soldiers, and traders. The rapids provided an ideal environment for fish gathering and for centuries,
communities of Ojibway lived close to the river, their livelihood based on whitefish.

Health and Wellness
Here are some basic tips you can use to help you stay healthy while participating in ICEMEN 2016:
Get sleep
There is always a dinner meeting or reception
going on every night, but don’t be tempted to stay
out too late with colleagues or friends. Getting
adequate sleep is important at a busy conference
to help you keep your stamina up and prevent you
from getting sick. If there is a break in the schedule
during the day, take some time for yourself back
in your hotel room, even if it is just for 15 or 30
minutes, to relax and recharge.
Exercise
You will get a few extra steps running around the
Conference Centre but it never hurts to squeeze
in thirty minutes of physical activity in your day.
Exercising first thing in the morning or in the
middle of the day can provide you with the energy
you need to network, think, and listen during the
conference. Check out the indoor pool and fitness
centre in your hotel, go for a walk or take five
minutes in between sessions for a good stretch.
Eat mindfully
It is hard not to grab that cookie just because
it is sitting on the table in front of you. Try to
make healthy eating choices during meal and
snack times. When dining out with colleagues,
try ordering a meal that is 1/2 vegetables, 1/4
protein (i.e., meat, beans, nuts), and 1/4 starch
(pasta, bread, rice). Also, to avoid unwanted weight
gain that sometimes accompanies conference
attendance, go easy on the desserts and alcohol!
20
Leisure Time
Part of what can make attending conferences
so effective is the ability to give you new
perspectives and ideas. A great way to facilitate
that is to take advantage of the activities available
in the community you are visiting. Check out the
Sault Ste. Marie Waterfront Trail, the John Roswell
Hub Trail, or the Ermatinger-Clergue National
Historic Site.
John Rowswell Hub Trail
The John Rowswell Hub Trail is a 25 kilometre
multi-use non-motorized trail system that
connects many significant points of interest
including the waterfront walkway, Bellevue
Park, Algoma University, Sault College, the new
hospital, and Fort Creek Conservation Area.
Historic Sites and Heritage
The Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site
provides visitors and residents of Sault Ste. Marie
the opportunity to experience the history of the
community through the preservation and historic
interpretation of the Ermatinger Old Stone House,
F.H. Clergue Blockhouse, Heritage Discovery
Centre, heritage landscape and gardens, and the
artifacts related to the site.
Looking for local activities to experience while in Sault Ste. Marie?
ICEMEN 2016 has partnered with Sault Tourism to provide conference delegates with exciting local activities at a special
conference rate! Please visit icemen2016.ca/activities to learn more about each activity and to purchase your tickets in advance.

officially known in Québec as La fête nationale, (English:
National Holiday) is a holiday celebrated annually on June 24,
the feast day of the Nativity of St. John the Baptiste. June 24 is
also celebrated as a festival of French Canadian culture in other
Canadian provinces and the United States.
In ancient times, the summer solstice was honoured around
June 21. In the fifth century, Christianity spread through France,
and the focus of the celebrations turned to honouring John the
Baptist on June 24—his feast day. Traditionally, bonfires would
Franco-Ontarian Flag
be lit on the eve of June 24 in order to honour the saint. In 1908,
Saint Jean Baptiste was named the patron saint of Frenchspeaking Canadians.
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is not only celebrated in the province of
Québec. It is also celebrated during the Franco-Ontarian Festival
which takes place every year in Ottawa, as well as in many small
towns located in Northern Ontario such as Hearst, Kapuskasing,
and Sudbury, and in several French-speaking communities in
Manitoba and, to a lesser degree, in Acadia.
The Ontario French-speaking community is the largest Frenchspeaking community in Canada outside Québec. French is
one of the two official languages of Canada. In Ontario, it is
recognized as an official language in the courts, in education
and in the Legislative Assembly.
Last year (in September 2015), we celebrated 40 years of the
Franco-Ontarian flag. The Province of Ontario has recognized
the importance of serving its citizens in French upon request.
It was when the present section 5 of the French Language
Services Act, an Act also known as Law 8, came into force in
November 1989, that the Province recognized that its citizens
were entitled to those services upon request.
The French language has been present in Ontario for more than
400 years. The first French speakers to come to Ontario were
the missionaries who established the mission of Sainte-Marieamong-the-Hurons in 1639.
The Franco-Ontarian flag was unveiled for the first time on
September 25, 1975 at Sudbury University. From then on, the
Ontario French-speaking community has consistently used it
as its emblem. It is therefore appropriate now to recognize it
officially as the emblem of that community.

Rencontre de collaboration francophone
Un groupe de francophones, francophiles et personnes franco-parlantes se sont regroupées en petit
groupe de travail lors du Muster 2014. Le but étant de promouvoir la francophonie et faire le partage
de renseignements dans le cadre de nos congrès biannuels. La première rencontre a eu lieu au Muster
2014 à Uluru en Australie. Nous proposons donc de continuer ce groupe par l’entremise d’une deuxième
rencontre à ICEMEN 2016 à Sault Ste. Marie.
En bref, les résultats prioritaires provenant des discussions en 2014 ont été les suivants :
1. Disséminer le besoin, reconnu et unanime, de la voix de la francophonie aux réunions (savantes et scientifiques) par l’entremise du
bilinguisme.
2. Faire entendre la voix francophone dans les journaux scientifiques même dans les milieux anglo-dominants.
Projet : adresser une lettre à l’éditeur en différentes langues européennes présentant cette iniquité; signaler que cela réduit la
transmission des connaissances et découvertes publiées en langue française hors des circuits anglophones.
3. Faire savoir au comité de planification du prochain MUSTER en Australie qu’une partie du programme devrait répondre aux besoins
des participants francophones (demi-journée) ciblant des présentations orales (traduites pour les non-francophones) et aussi des
affiches en français.
4. Continuer de communiquer, publier et échanger des informations entre nous pour élargir la capture d’autres opportunités à travers
cette initiative.
5. Discuter de cette initiative avec nos doyens pour essayer d’avancer ce projet pour le prochain MUSTER en Australie.
6. Rester en communication.
Poursuivons ensembles nos efforts dans l’esprit de l’engagement des universités avec les communautés
(littéraires, scientifiques et sociales).
Joignez-vous à nous pour célébrer notre francophonie ! La soirée francophone aura lieu le vendredi 24
juin 2016 dès 17 h 30 à la Galerie d'art de Sault Ste. Marie.

Collaborative Francophone Meeting
A group of dedicated Francophones, Francophiles, and
French-speakers struck a small working group at Muster
2014. The main impetus for the group is to promote
‘la francophonie’ and share information as part of our
biannual conferences. The first meeting was held at
Muster 2014 in Uluru, Australia. We hope to continue
the work of this group and are therefore planning a
second meeting at ICEMEN 2016 in Sault Ste. Marie.
The resulting priorities from the initial discussions in 2014 are the
following:
1.
Disseminate the recognized and unanimous need for a Francophone
presence at meetings (academic and scientific) by means of supporting
bilingual interventions.
2.
Promote the publication of research findings and knowledge transfer in the
French-language within scientific journals in all milieus including those in
the anglo-dominant research sectors.
Project: Send a letter to the editor of a major scientific journal (in various
European languages) introducing this inequity; focus on the fact that
this reduces the opportunity for the transfer of knowledge and findings
published in the French language especially in publications outside of the
English-language circles of research.
3.
Make the next MUSTER planning committee aware of the need for a section
of the program geared to the Francophone participants (half-day) to allow
for oral presentations (translation/interpretation for non-French-speakers) as well as posters in French.
4.
Continue to communicate, publish, and share information among members in order to widen the reach and exposure to opportunities by means of
this initiative.
5.
Discuss this initiative with our Deans in order to ensure its inclusion in the next MUSTER in Australia.
6.
Stay in contact.
Let’s continue our efforts to engage our universities with all communities (literary, scientific, and social). Please join us to celebrate our
‘francophonie.’ This Francophone evening is set for Friday, June 24, 2016 at 17:30 at the Sault Ste. Marie Art Gallery.

Presentation Formats
ICEMEN 2016 conference sessions fall within four different presentation formats and six distinct
abstract streams. The overall goal of the ICEMEN 2016 conference and its partner events—the Indigenous
Research Gathering and the Northern Health Research Conference—is to convene health professionals,
educators, students, and researchers from all parts of the world to share experiences and insights about
social accountability and community participation in health professional education, as well as a broad
range of community-oriented research and service partnerships. Through various forums, participants will
engage in thought-provoking discussions and collaborative learning related to innovative strategies for
social accountability and community participation in education, research, and service.
Presentation Formats
Podium presentations
15-minute oral presentations
PeArLS
10-minute presentations followed by a 20-minute discussion
A series of themed presentations in a single session; each
presentation is 10 minutes long with five minutes for questions
immediately following each.
Participants offering a “Personally Arranged Learning Session”
will present a “sticky” issue or problem—something that they
have been struggling with in their curriculum or research
program. Clarifying questions from participants may be asked,
following which the presenter listens to the conversation that
emerges from the participants. In the final two minutes, the
author summarizes insights offered through the participant
discussion, and articulates the steps s/he will now take.
Posters
Three-minute poster presentations
Posters will be clustered thematically and have an assigned
session during the conference; poster authors in a clustered
set will have three minutes to highlight the information on
their poster; following all presentations, participants will
have an opportunity to ask questions.
Workshops
45-minute workshops
This is an interactive format in which participants are guided
in a deeper exploration of a topic or issue. Workshops
offer participants the opportunity to explore topics from
the perspectives of their own context and to hear other
perspectives that can lead to new insights and possibilities.

•
Describe the principles of moral agency as applied to scholarship.
Understand the challenges of scholarship-based moral agency in a socially accountable institution.
Apply and challenge scholarly thinking and practice to be more engaged with principles of
moral agency.
Description
A moral agent recognizes their potential to do harm, and avoids doing harm—or at least minimizes
the harm (and the impact of any harm) that flows from their actions or inaction. Although moral
agency is arguably critical to the professional development and practice of medical education
scholars, it is often omitted from their training and professional accountabilities. There is an
inconsistency in physicians taking the Hippocratic Oath but not medical education scholars.
While scholarship may support or advance a school’s social mission, it should also hold the school,
its mission, and its underlying ideologies to account. To paraphrase Bleakley, scholarship is (or
should be) the primary systematic mechanism through which medical education programs are
held to account, including acting as agents or advocates for the societies to which the broader
sense of accountability is directed. As a result, a scholar may be their organization’s most committed
champion, precisely by being its ideologies’ most ardent critic.
Drawing on the traditions of the public intellectual, this session explores the argument that
scholars should strive to act as moral agents by directing their actions in reference to personal
and professional codes and values. It also considers how the principles and practices of moral
agency can and should respond to the social accountability missions and policies of their host
institutions. Central to this thesis is that moral agency is not a matter of moral superiority, but
the responsible and moral individual enactment of professional autonomy, particularly in the
face of institutional ideologies.

Learning Objectives
Björg Pálsdóttir
•
•
Reflect on how we can ensure that social accountability fosters sustainable change in education
and outcomes.
Explore practical steps and mechanisms to evolve fit-for-purpose institutions and graduates.
Description
Social accountability and community-engagement in health workforce education are gaining
traction at global and regional policy levels and among education institutions and funding bodies.
While this could represent a paradigm-shift in health workforce education—hopefully toward
reducing health inequities—these concepts remain somewhat vague. They are often more
aspirational than practical, perhaps somewhat simplistic. They barely address the core issue of
power. Today, health education institutions and health professionals operate in complex systems
that are more diverse, dynamic, resource-constrained, and interconnected than ever—and far less
predictable. For social accountability to have the desired effect, new ways of operating, cooperating,
co-creating, and enforcing are required. Institutions need to embrace heterogeneity; foster greater
trust and reciprocity with communities and partners across sectors; and create feedback loops and
adaptive mechanisms that are responsive to local dynamics.

en français du Canada en plus de coprésider le comité de direction des soins de santé primaires pour la province du NouveauBrunswick depuis sa mise en place il y a six ans.
Dr. Aurel
Schofield
Il a été membre de plusieurs comités dans la communauté traitant de la violence familiale, de l’abus des enfants, du suicide chez
les adolescents et des survivants adultes d’abus sexuel. Il a présenté de nombreux exposés et ateliers sur ces questions ainsi que
sur l’enseignement médical à divers regroupements locaux, nationaux (CMFC et RCPSC) et internationaux (WONCA, Vers l’unité
pour la santé).
En 1999, Dr Schofield a coprésidé la Conférence Acadie-Sherbrooke, la première conférence internationale sous le thème « La
pratique et l’éducation médicale des professionnels de la santé en réponse aux besoins des individus et des communautés ».
Cette conférence a contribué à mettre à l’avant-scène la problématique des services de santé en français à l’échelle canadienne.
Ses travaux ont été sélectionnés pour la conférence d’ouverture pour le lancement de la stratégie de « Vers l’Unité pour la santé »
de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé.
Il a reçu plusieurs reconnaissances prestigieuses tant sur la scène locale, provinciale et nationale pour sa contribution
exceptionnelle en éducation médicale et pour sa profession; dont l’Ordre du mérite de la Societé médicale du NouveauBrunswick, Médecin de cœur et d’action, et le prix Delphis Brochu de l’Association des médecins de langue française du Canada,
le premier récipiendaire du prix Montfort Santé octroyé par le Gouvernement du Canada, le prix Jean Pierre Despins du Collège

Il est présentement président de la Société santé en français pour un deuxième mandat et chef du projet Franco Doc de
l’AFMC
Description
L’apport des francophones dans l’histoire de la province, du pays jusqu’à date a peu été célébrer. Dans toutes les provinces
et territoires du Canada les francophones vivants en milieu minoritaire ont travaillé à arrache pied entre autre à se doter de
services de santé adapté à leur langue et leur culture. Au cours des années beaucoup de gains ont été réalisés mais beaucoup
reste à faire. Présentement plusieurs forces provinciales et nationales se sont ralliées vers une vision unifiée pour la santé des
francophones minoritaires. Des actions concrètes nationales menées entre autre par la Société santé en français le Consortium
national de formation en santé et l’Association des facultés de médecine du Canada dont le projet Franco Doc ainsi que par
les facultés de médecine elles-mêmes, auront un impact majeur sur l’accès services de santé en français. Le futur s’annonce
très prometteur mais son réel succès va être possible seulement grâce à un effort concerté et continu des individus et des
communautés engagées vers un but et une vision commune.

Accessing French-Language Health Services in a Minority Setting:
Overview of the Past, Present and the Vision for the Future
Dr. Aurel Schofield received his degree in medicine and family medicine at l’Université Laval in Quebec City in 1980. His
academic career was entirely devoted to the delivery of primary care and obstetrics, medical education, as well as research on
adolescent health. He was President of the College of Family Physicians of New Brunswick, member of the Comité consultatif des
communautés francophones en situation minoritaire de Santé Canada, founding member of the Société Santé en français and of
the Consortium national de formation en santé for the training of health professionals. He was founding Chairman of the Société
Santé et mieux-être en français du Nouveau-Brunswick.
He was the Founding Director at the Centre de formation médicale du Nouveau-Brunswick, Associate Dean for New Brunswick
for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Université de Sherbrooke as well as Associate Dean for medical education at
the Université de Moncton. He is the first physician in New Brunswick to obtain the status of tenured professor. He was recently
elected the President of la Société Santé en français du Canada. He also co-chairs the Primary Health Care Steering Committee for
the Province of New Brunswick since its creation six years ago. He was a member of several committees in the community dealing
with family violence, child abuse, suicide among adolescents, and adult survivors of sexual abuse.
Dr. Schofield has made numerous presentations and given several workshops on these issues as well as medical education at
various local groups, national groups (College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Canada) as well as international groups (WONCA, Towards Unity for Health).
In 1999, Dr. Schofield co-chaired the Conference Acadie-Sherbrooke, the first international conference on the theme “The practice
and medical education of health professionals to meet the needs of individuals and communities.” This conference helped bring
the issue of health services in French across Canada to the forefront. His work was selected as the keynote conference for the
launch of the World Health Organization’s strategy “Towards Unity for Health.”
He has received several prestigious awards at the local, provincial, and national level for his outstanding contributions in medical
education and his profession, including the Order of Merit of the New Brunswick Medical Society, Médecins de coeur et d’action
(Doctor of heart and action) as well as the Delphis Brochu Award from the Association des médecins de langue française du
Canada. He was also the first recipient of the Montfort Health Award granted by the Government of Canada, the Jean Pierre
Despins Award from the College of Family Physicians of Canada, the Order of Merit from the Faculty of Medicine and Health
Sciences, Université de Sherbrooke. He received recognition of the quality of medical education in the “teaching team” category
of the Université of Sherbrooke. He also won the Alumni Prism Award from the Université de Moncton, the Prix Acadie-Québec
and the “Ordre des francophones d’Amérique” presented by the Government of Quebec. He received the Paul Harris Award,
a fellowship awarded by the Dieppe Rotary Club, and was named personality of the year in 2011 by Radio-Canada/L’Acadie
Nouvelle.
In November 2012, he received the 2012 Group of Regional campus (GRMC), Shining Star of Community Achievement Award at
the annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) held in San Francisco, California. This prize is given to
one of the ninety-two American and eight Canadian distributed medical education sites.
Last May, he was awarded the Order of Canada for his exceptional contribution to medical education and improving health
services in French. In October 2014, he received the Prix Ovation des anciens et amis de l’Université de Moncton. In April 2015,
he was the recipient of the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) President’s Award for Exemplary National
Leadership in Academic Medicine for his work and contribution to medical education. In October 2015, he was named
Ambassadeur du français by Médecins francophones du Canada.
He presently is Chair of la Société santé en français for a second term and Project Director for the Franco Doc project of the AFMC.
Description
The contribution of Francophones in the history of the province, and the country has not been recognized much to date. In all
provinces and territories of Canada, Francophones living in minority settings have toiled to ensure they obtain services that are
adapted to their language and culture. Throughout the years, there have been many positive outcomes but there is still much
to do. Currently, a number of provincial and national organizations have rallied together towards a common vision for the
health and benefit of minority Francophones. Concrete actions at the national level lead, among others, by la Société Santé
en français, le Consortium national de formation en santé and the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada, specifically
the Franco Doc project, as well as all faculties of medicine themselves will have a major impact of accessing French-language
health services. The future is looking bright but the ultimate success is only possible with concerted and continued efforts by
committed individuals and communities to a common goal and vision.

INDIGENOUS
RESEARCH GATHERING
JUNE 23-24, 2016
63
Indigenous Research Gathering Overview
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine’s (NOSM) Indigenous
Research Gathering, which will be held in Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is on The Traditional Territory of the Ojibway Peoples
of Baawaating, neighboring the community of Garden River
First Nation. In addition, there will be Indigenous ceremonial
activities that will be facilitated by the Peoples of the
traditional territory where the Gathering will take place.
The Indigenous Research Gathering will be an opportunity
to review past and current research practices and begin to
develop guiding principles that build inclusive and culturally
respectful research programs that can have an impact on
health in Indigenous communities. The guiding principles will
form the basis of a statement of principles to assist researchers
in engaging in research that makes a difference and has a
positive impact on the community.
The Indigenous Research Gathering is a community
consultative process as it relates to the topic of culturally
appropriate research practice and Indigenous health.
The Gathering will open with a keynote address,
Acknowledging the Past by Dr. Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux,
Vice Provost Aboriginal Initiatives, Lakehead University.
Dr. Wesley-Esquimaux will provide an opportunity to reflect
on inappropriate research practices and lack of engagement
of the Indigenous Peoples in the planning and outcomes of
research being conducted within their communities. This
session will align with information recently provided through
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and will be followed
by a time to reflect on the experiences of the past. There will
be an opportunity to participate in a cleansing ceremony and
speak with Elders and Knowledge Keepers on how we move
forward in a journey that acknowledges and remembers the
past, yet seeks to walk forward together to establish research
practices that include Indigenous researchers and respectfully
and appropriately integrates Indigenous research practices,
including traditional methods.
In the afternoon of the first day, the session will begin with a
presentation by Dr. Marion Maar and Ms. Lorrilee McGregor
who will speak about Building Research Relationships
with First Nation communities. Following will be selected
presentations by researchers and community members on
Research That is Having an Impact. Researchers will speak
about the objectives, research plan, and outcomes of specific
64
INDIGENOUS RESEARCH GATHERING
research topics and community members will speak about
how the community has participated with the researchers to
facilitate the research and outcomes in the community. Topics
will include: cancer survival, recovery, research infrastructure;
maternal health and addictions; tobacco misuse amongst
First Nations youth in First Nations across Canada; culturally
appropriate health literacy intervention on cardiovascular
disease medications; and, culture as an intervention in
addictions treatment.
At the end of day, Dr. Marie Wilson will provide a keynote
address from her experience with the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission: Truth and Reconciliation: Moving Forward.
Dr. Wilson was one of the three Commissioners involved in
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; she is well known
for her award winning journalism and contributions through
senior executive positions in both federal and territorial Crown
Corporations.
On the second day of the Indigenous Research Gathering,
delegates from our partner communities, Elders, members
of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine Indigenous
Reference Group, and others will participate in round table
discussions focused on two questions:
•
What are the important lessons learned about research
practices that will help us move forward in conducting
research that is inclusive and respectful?
•
What are your priorities from lessons learned that will
facilitate practical next steps for research?
Through facilitated group discussion, the gathering will focus
on approaches that build inclusive and culturally respectful
research programs, with the aim of developing guidelines that
will form the basis of a Declaration of Guiding Principles for
research that makes a difference.
The closing of the Indigenous Research Gathering will
recognize the beginning of the next phase of moving
forward to develop and expand meaningful, respectful, and
informative health research that will support improved health
outcomes in Indigenous communities.

Indigenous Research Gathering Keynote Speakers
Thursday, June 23, 2016 | 09:00 - 10:00
Acknowledging our Past
Dr. Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux is the Vice Provost (Aboriginal Initiatives) at Lakehead University
and serves as a member of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine Indigenous Reference Group.
She also serves as an adjunct Assistant Professor for the Faculty of Anthropology and Research
Affiliate of the Centre for Health Care Ethics. Her research and academic writing is directed toward
understanding the continuing transmission of unresolved intergenerational trauma and grief
primarily within the Indigenous community of Canada.
Cynthia is a Board Member for Healthy Minds Canada and the newly formed Teach for Canada NonProfit. She is a member of the Governing Circle of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation
at the University of Manitoba and was inducted as a “Honourary Witness” by the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
Dr. Cynthia
Wesley-Esquimaux
Interested in environmental and humanitarian causes she is actively engaged in a variety of
initiatives across Canada and is an active and engaging media representative. Cynthia is a member
of the Chippewa of Georgina Island First Nation in Lake Simcoe, Ontario and has dedicated her life
to building bridges of understanding between people. She sees endless merit in bringing people
from diverse cultures, ages, and backgrounds together to engage in practical dialogue and applied
research initiatives, and is deeply committed to public education and active youth engagement.
Cynthia co-founded and chairs a youth project called Canadian Roots Exchange, supported by the
University of Toronto, the University of Saskatchewan and Lakehead University.
Description
Dr. Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux navigated the intergenerational storm so many Indigenous peoples
found themselves with a firm conviction life could offer more. Out of respect for her parents, both
Indian Residential School (IRS) survivors, she walked back into the annals of history and learned about
the impacts of an unconscionable past. Inspired by this knowledge and with a new compassion,
she forgave and moved into a life of learning, sharing, and service. Healing is a deliberate act, it
takes courage, forgiveness, remembrance, and an acknowledgement we have all been touched in
a multitude of ways by those who walked before. We must chose what we carry forward and what
we put down, unnecessary burdens of pain and loss, not to be forgotten, but to lighten our steps
towards a better future. The story of Indigenous peoples in Canada is a tapestry of broken hearts,
despair, stifled rage, and an incredible survivance, but it also depicts love, hope, and an enduring
reminder reconciliation and relationships cannot happen without acknowledgement of our past as
individuals, as peoples, and as a country.

She has lived, studied, and worked in cross-cultural environments for almost 40 years, including
Europe, Africa, and various parts of Canada.
Dr. Marie Wilson
As a journalist, Dr. Wilson worked in print, radio, and television as a regional and national reporter, and
later as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s senior manager for northern Quebec and the three
northern Territories. She was the first television program host of northern Canada’s flagship weekly
information program, Focus North. Her reports tackled complex issues, from the Quebec sovereignty
referendum and national unity debates to the national Constitutional talks of the 1980s; from the
settlement of historic Indigenous rights agreements to the state of health in First Nations and Inuit
communities; from Papal visits to centennial celebrations of the Riel Rebellion.
As a Regional Director for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Dr. Wilson was a pioneer. She
launched the first Daily Television News service for northern Canada, against a back-drop of
four time zones and ten languages: English, French, and eight indigenous. She developed the
Arctic Winter Games and True North Concert series to showcase northern performing artists and
traditional indigenous sports for audiences in southern Canada. She fought for the recruitment and
development of Indigenous staff and their on-air reflection. She acknowledged staff excellence with
the CBC North Awards. She acknowledged the community with program initiatives to support and
promote literacy.
A career highlight was to deliver training through the South African Broadcasting Corporation as part
of that country’s transition to democracy, coinciding with the start-up of South Africa’s own Truth and
Reconciliation Commission. For several years, she served as an associate board member of what was
to become the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). Over the years, she has worked with
various other boards and agencies committed to social justice; journalism and civic engagement;
community, spiritual and international development; and the well-being of children and youth.
Dr. Wilson is the recipient of a CBC North Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Northerner of the
Year Award, and various awards and recognitions for journalism, writing excellence, and work-place
safety initiatives. In May 2012, she was awarded an honourary Doctor of Laws degree by St. Thomas
University of Fredricton, New Brunswick, in recognition of a professional career “marked by public
service and social justice.” Dr. Wilson speaks English and French, with some knowledge of Spanish and
Sahtu Dene. She and her husband, Stephen Kakfwi, are the proud parents of Kyla, Daylyn and Keenan,
and are blessed with four grand-children.

NORTHERN HEALTH RESEARCH CONFERENCE
Northern Health Research Conference
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine's Northern Health
Research Conference—more commonly known as the NHRC—
has been held annually since 2006. The NHRC is hosted in
communities across NOSM's wider campus of Northern Ontario
and provides an opportunity for researchers and students in
the region to present their research and exchange ideas.
In the last 10 years, the conference has travelled to Huntsville,
North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sioux Lookout, Sudbury, Thunder
Bay, and Timmins. Sault Ste. Marie was actually the very
first host partner in this endeavour. This Naturally Gifted
community, located at the very centre of NOSM’s two host
universities was critical to the success of the NHRC by taking
the leap to host our first conference in 2006. The success
was so tremendous that the conference returned to Sault
Ste. Marie in 2007 and now, 2016 marks the third Northern
Health Research Conference hosted in Sault Ste. Marie on the
traditional Ojibway territory of Batchewana First Nation and
the neighbouring community of Garden River First Nation.
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine is forever grateful
for your support!
This conference demonstrates NOSM’s commitment to
research, health care, and education to the people of Northern
Ontario and beyond. The NHRC explores research activities
arising from community-based activities and highlights
projects underway from students, residents, and communitybased researchers. The conference provides opportunities for
collaboration and networking.
Dr. Roger Strasser, NOSM Dean has said: “In order to continue
to further the exciting health research taking place in Northern
Ontario, it is important that dispersed researchers have an
opportunity to come together to discuss their work. This
allows for a pan-Northern approach for collaborative research,
where ideas can cross-pollinate, and like-minded researchers
can combine their talents and expertise to support the
development of a healthier Northern Ontario.”

Perspectives from the NOSM-Heart and Stroke Foundation
Chair in Aboriginal and Rural Health Research
Dr. Tobe became the inaugural Heart and Stroke Foundation (HSF)/Northern Ontario School of
Medicine (NOSM) Chair of Rural and Aboriginal Health in 2013. He is also a Nephrologist and
Hypertension Specialist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. He received his Master
of Science, Community Health, Health Practitioner Teacher Education degree from the Dalla Lana
School of Public Health in 2013.
Dr. Tobe’s research in the 1990s focused on dialysis research, but by the end of the decade, his focus
shifted to blood pressure management to help keep patients off dialysis.
Dr. Sheldon Tobe
Dr. Tobe’s significant contributions have been recognized by awards such as Blood Pressure Canada’s
Certificate of Excellence (2008), the HSF Ontario’s Award for Volunteer Excellence (2010), and many
teaching awards. As former chair of the Canadian Hypertension Education Program (CHEP), his
knowledge translation efforts have contributed to the dramatic improvement in hypertension
awareness treatment and control in Canada over the past 20 years and the associated improvement
in mortality from heart failure, stroke and heart attack. Dr. Tobe is also Co-Chair of the Canadian
Cardiovascular Harmonized National Guidelines Endeavour (C-CHANGE) guidelines that have
been endorsed by the Council of Federation’s Healthcare Innovations Working Group in 2012 for
implementation in primary care across Canada.
As the HSF/NOSM Chair of Rural and Aboriginal Health, Dr. Tobe brings his experience working
with Indigenous communities including The Diabetes Risk Evaluation and Microalbuminuria
(DREAM) studies and the Aboriginal Hypertension Management Program (AHMP). His Hypertension
Management Program (HMP) and AHMP study has resulted in improved treatment and control of
hypertension in Ontario. He is co-PI of the CIHR/GACD funded DREAM-GLOBAL study (Diagnosing
hypertension- Engaging Action and Management in Getting Lower Blood Pressure in Aboriginal and
LMIC).
A recognized leader in his field, Dr. Tobe’s effective collaborations with researchers, clinicians, policymakers and Indigenous people have had significant impact in Canada. Dr. Tobe works closely with
the Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research (CRaNHR) and has initiated pilot projects to
increase the awareness and appreciation for research among Northern health-care providers.

Early Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
The Challenge and Early Results from a 12,000 Patient Trial in Scotland
Dr. Frank Sullivan
Dr. Frank Sullivan has been an Academic General Medical Practitioner with an interest in clinical trials
and health informatics since 1984. After graduating from the University of Glasgow, he combined
clinical training in Scotland and service general practice with a Ph.D. in Health Services Research.
He has mainly worked clinically in two Scottish inner city practices and, more recently, in Toronto. In
the early years of his career, Frank undertook a sabbatical to set up a health services research unit in
the Republic of Seychelles. From March 1998 until February 2014, he was the NHS Tayside Professor
of Research and Development in General Practice and Primary Care and was involved with the
development of a regional and national diabetes register in Scotland. The register has been used for
clinical care, quality improvement, and research. In the seven years before moving to Toronto, he was
the Director of Dundee’s Health Informatics Centre and Director of the Scottish School of Primary
Care. He is currently the Gordon F. Cheesbrough Research Chair at North York General Hospital in
the University of Toronto, Director of the University of Toronto Practice Based Research Network
(UTOPIAN) and a clinician in the Family Medicine Teaching Unit.
Dr. Sullivan is a chief investigator on thee large family practice trials in earlier diagnosis of lung cancer
(ECLS), tonsillectomy for adults (NATTINA) and management of childhood eczema (CREAM) as well
as the Scottish Research Register (SHARE). He is also a principal investigator on twelve other studies
including two large European Union-funded informatics projects.
Dr. Sullivan has published 222 papers in peer-reviewed journals and his NEJM paper of a trial of
steroids and antivirals for Bell’s palsy won the 2009 BMA research paper of the year award. He was
elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2011.

Innovative Education
and Research for a
Healthier North.
What can the Research Support Group do for you?
Research Support
Using internally held resources, the Research
Support Group (RSG) can assist faculty, learners,
residents, and staff as they embark on research
endeavours. Research can be a time consuming,
complicated, and yet completely rewarding
undertaking. The RSG understands this and can help
navigate the process. We are committed to ensuring
that all researchers have access to the guidance they
need to be successful.
Research Ethics Board
We can assist researchers with the process, help
them select the appropriate REB to apply to,
troubleshoot major issues, and inform researchers
about Lakehead University, Laurentian University,
and hospital boards and forms. We can also assist
faculty with the newest Tri Council Policy Statement
on research (TCPS) and implications for REBs,
informed consent, research with Indigenous people,
conflict of interest assistance, and help incorporate
realistic timelines for REB application and response.
Human Resources
Most research programs require the hiring of
additional personnel. The RSG can assist with this
process by informing and providing researchers with
the various internal and Lakehead University and
Laurentian University forms, as well as assisting with
room bookings, interview questions, and policies
and procedure for hiring at NOSM and at our host
institutions.
For research assistance, email the Health
Sciences Library at [email protected]
Grant Procurement
We can assist in the general grant writing process,
helping write realistic budgets, assist with literature
searches, inform timelines, and identify appropriate
granting agencies to which to apply. We can
guide researchers through the internal process for
applying for grants, and we can also link faculty
to Lakehead University and Laurentian University
resources who can assist with finding grants and the
process for applying at either host university. The
team can also help with identifying opportunities for
funding.
End of Grant Reports
Most grants require mid - and year-end reports. We
can assist faculty by proofing written reports for
compliance, ensuring that the budget is accurate,
and providing other important information that may
need to come from the institution.
Linking Researchers and Learners to Projects
and other Researchers
As NOSM continues to grow, the RSG is committed
to assisting faculty and learners who are interested
in collaborating. The RSG will keep accurate
information on current projects, researchers,
and their interests in order to match potential
collaborations.

Conference on the Move
Conference on the Move (CoM) participants will discover the beauty
of Northern Ontario. This bus excursion showcases several NOSM
community partners on a trip that starts in Toronto, including stops
in Tobermory, Manitoulin Island, communities of the North Shore of
Lake Huron, before concluding in Sault Ste. Marie prior to the ICEMEN
opening ceremonies.
Manitoulin Island Piers
Delegates will travel through the rolling farmlands and forests of the
Mixedwood Plains Ecozone and the Bruce Peninsula. While en route,
they will participate in a mobile version of the game The Last Straw,
which promotes discussion on the social determinants of health in the
area. After an afternoon aboard the Chi-Cheemaun ferry, participants
will arrive on Manitoulin Island at South Baymouth, and from there will
continue the bus excursion to Little Current.
Dinner will be held at the Manitoulin Hotel and Conference Centre.
After an official welcome by the Conference Co-Chairs and greetings
from NOSM Dean, Dr. Roger Strasser, participants will learn about the
progress of the Wild Rice Restoration Program that originates with
residents of the community of Wikwemikong.
Manitoulin Island North Channel and Swing Bridge
On National Aboriginal Day, Tuesday, June 21, 2016, delegates will
begin their day with a Sunrise Ceremony to honour the day. After a
rigorous WildER Med experience (skill stations and patient scenarios
on wilderness medical and survival skills), participants will enjoy a
traditional corn soup and scone lunch, and teachings about the meal.
The afternoon in M’Chigeeng will provide participants the opportunity
to participate in a medicine walk, create their own medicine bag, and
hike on the Mother Earth Hiking Trail via the Great Spirit Circle Trail.
This memorable day will conclude with dinner and a performance of
The Global Savages by the Debajehmujig Storytellers in Manitowaning.
On Wednesday, June 22, 2016, Conference on the Move delegates will
continue their journey along the North Shore of Lake Huron where
they will make two stops in Spanish and Serpent River. The first stop
in Spanish takes delegates to the site of the former Garnier and St
Joseph’s Residential Schools where they will hear from a local speaker
about the experience of residential schools and its troubling legacy
among Canada’s Indigenous peoples. During the second stop in
Serpent River First Nation, participants will enjoy a lunch prepared by
the community and have the opportunity to view and purchase work
from a variety of local and regional artists at the Serpent River Trading
Post.
Site of former Residential School in Spanish
This journey from Manitoulin to Sault Ste. Marie includes guided
reflections on the significance of the residential schools to health and
well-being of Indigenous peoples, as well as the resilience and cultural
strengths of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Conference on the Move
will end in Sault Ste. Marie for the commencement of ICEMEN 2016.

Dr. Kate Rossiter, M.A., Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in Health Studies at
the Brantford campus of Wilfrid Laurier University
Dr. Kate Reeve, M.H.Sc., M.D., is currently a Community Medicine Resident
at the University of Toronto
The Last Straw! was originally developed for a health promotion
class in 2004 at the University of Toronto. It went on to win
several awards from organizations such as the University of
Toronto and Community-Campus Partnerships for Health.
Case Studies
Discussion on case studies with particular attention to: critical
issues regarding population health (e.g. Francophone and
Aboriginal people in Ontario), culturally sensitive health-care
access and programming, and approaches to health and
health care.
Use of Critical Incident Reports for Reflective
Learning and Effective Knowledge Exchange
Flanagan (1954, p. 327) defined what he meant by critical
incidents as, “any observable human activity that is sufficiently

Acknowledged with Thanks
The ICEMEN 2016 organizers recognize that without the generosity of all of our donors and sponsors, the
conference would not have happened. Through the exceptional generosity of our donors we were able,
among other things, to support members of Northern Ontario’s Indigenous communities to attend what
we know will be a historic event leading to improved understanding about how to conduct research with
respect and justice that can address the important health issues identified by Indigenous peoples and
communities. This year, our generous sponsors provided over $200,000 to support the conference. This
support will make the Conference on the Move, the Northern Health Research conference, the Indigenous
Research Gathering, and ICEMEN 2016 a truly spectacular event. Thank you, merci, miigwetch!
