The University of Toronto has developed the first program of its kind to educate clinical scientists in embryology, known as clinical embryologists, within the Department of Laboratory Medicine, with essential support from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
In a recently published paper, the founders of this program have shared the process of its development, their insights, and a detailed description so that other educators and policymakers can benefit from the U of T experience.
Dr. Heather Shapiro co-authored the report with Temerty Medicine’s Dr. Danielle Bentley, Dr. Ted Brown, Ms. Pat Chronis-Brown, Dr. Avrum I. Gotlieb, Dr. Scot Hamilton, and Dr. Rita Kandel.
