Case-based Imaging Head-to-Toe Symposium
May was a busy month of events for the Department of Medical Imaging, as on May 29, we held the first Case-Based Imaging Head-to-Toe Symposium, and it was a great success! Thank you to our incredible faculty who put together this in-depth and fascinating look into imaging cases from head to toe.
The symposium was a 3/4 day event which included eight moderated sessions, each of which covered eight to 12 cases and each focusing on a different subspecialty of medical imaging. This event was also accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, American Medical Association and the European Union for Medical Specialists (UEMS).

And of course, thank you to all our dedicated faculty who delivered an informative and entertaining symposium, the first of its kind for the Department of Medical Imaging.
