Testimonials

“Stepping Stones is an excellent foundational program that has given me knowledge and skills to thrive in my current role. The workshops offered cover a breadth of topics, many of which I found relevant to my work. Attending the workshops provided me with new knowledge and resources, and encouraged me to reflect on and look for opportunities to shift my thought processes, approaches and activities so that I can excel within my role.”

“I truly enjoyed the Stepping Stones program! Not only the great diversity of topics, from clinically applicable teaching examples to simulation, theory of education and different research areas, but also the organization, enthusiasm and well-preparedness of the presenters and staff, the interactive workshops and meeting people with similar interests. I also benefitted from the Journal Clubs, where I built some friendships with people from very different fields. As a result of the Program, I have managed to come up with some new ideas and have published two education-related papers since. Thank you!”
