Medical staff have access to courses and educational opportunities created within PHSA to strengthen practice, leadership, and system-wide improvement.
These offerings are designed with the unique needs of our teams in mind, connecting evidence-based learning with the realities of day-to-day care. Through these programs, staff can deepen knowledge, build connections, and contribute to advancing safe, high-quality care across the heath system.
Physician quality improvement (PQI) gives all PHSA staff, including all medical staff, the training and support they need to run improvement projects that make patient care safer and more effective. The PQI program builds a strong foundation in quality improvement methods while delivering real results for patients and care teams.
The PHSA Medical Staff Wellness and Learning Rounds is a new learning series hosted through PHSA Medical & Academic Affairs in partnership with Doctors of BC. A mix of virtual and in-person sessions will be held throughout the year. Sessions will bring together speakers from across B.C. to explore issues affecting medical staff wellbeing, safety, and practice.
Participants will be able to:
- Practice physical and psychological safety and wellness
- Discuss the link between medical staff safety and wellness and patient outcomes
- Identify safety and wellness information gaps, and locate resources that respond to safety and wellness needs
- Apply tools and strategies to increase medical staff safety and wellness — individually, with colleagues, and within teams
- Relate respectfully and productively with other medical staff to promote collegiality, safety, and wellness
The first session, Neurodiversity at Work, will be a virtual session with breakout discussions, focused on building a stronger, more inclusive team that improves both workplace dynamics and the care provided.
The session will also focus on recognizing and addressing barriers to inclusion through psychological safety and practical strategies that support diverse cognitive, learning, and communication styles. Participants will explore a strengths-based leadership approach that leverages neurodiversity to enhance collaboration, innovation, and overall team performance.
Future session topics may include:
Note: Session timing and registration details will be shared as each session is confirmed.
Participants can also earn CME credits through applied, practice-focused learning.
