  The Practice Based Small Group (PBSG) sessions will be held on Wednesdays at Brampton Civic Hospital from noon until 1 pm alternating with Internal Medicine Rounds. Regular resident attendance is expected unless post-call. Two facilitators - Dr. Susan Hayward and Dr. Elen Kostopoulos, look forward to guiding the sessions. PBSG sessions are designed to help residents enhance their knowledge and integrate new information into their practice while having fun. The PBSG uses an interactive educational approach to continuing professional development. Rather than a traditional didactic lecture format, the PBSG sessions will focus on discussion of modules composed of real cases and evidence based information. The residents are encouraged to review the PBSG module prior to each session and to bring their own cases to discuss. The goal of the program is to facilitate the transition from learning as part of a formal training program, to a commitment to self-directed continuing medical education, which will assist our graduates throughout their medical careers. Typical modules are as follows:
 
Acute Bronchitis, Anemia in the Elderly, Asthma in Children, Atrial Fibrillation, Back Pain—Approaches to Acute Low Back Pain , Behavioral Challenges in Dementia, Bipolar Disorder , Breast Cancer Screening, Celiac Disease, Cervical Spine Trauma, Child Behaviour , Child Maltreatment, Chronic Kidney Disease, Chronic Non-Cancer Pain, COPD, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Colorectal Cancer Screening, Computers in the Office and EMRs, Constipation, Contraception, Depressive Disorder: Treatment Challenges, Diabetes: Improving Glycemic Control in Patients; Newly Diagnosed with Type 2, Diabetes: Managing Microvascular Complications of Type 2, Diabetes: Screening and Prevention of Type 2, Diabetes: Starting Insulin in Type 2, Dizziness, Drug Use Disorders: Illicit and Prescription Drugs, Dying at Home—Planning and Preparing, Dyslipidemia, Dyspepsia, Elder Abuse, Endometriosis, Falls in the Elderly, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Genetic Screening for Hereditary Breast/Ovarian and Colorectal Cancers, Head Injury, Heart Failure, Heart Murmurs, Hematuria, Hepatitis C , Hereditary Hemochromatosis, Human Papillomavirus, Hypertension, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Menorrhagia, Miscarriage, Multiple Sclerosis, Newborn Screening, Obesity in Adults, Osteoporosis and Fragility Fractures, Panic Disorder, Pap Smears—Effective Management of the “Abnormal Pap”, Parkinson’s Disease—Diagnosis and Management, Patient Safety: Disclosure & Prevention of MedicalErrors*, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Pharyngitis, Physical Activity for Children and Youth, Poisoning*, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Postmenopausal Women’s Health, Postpartum Mood Disorders, Premenstrual Syndrome, Prenatal Genetic Screening Tests: What's New, Prenatal Screening for Genetic Conditions, Prescribing in the Elderly, Prevention: Putting it into practice, Rheumatoid Arthritis , Seizures, Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Prevention and Screening of Common STIs, Sleep Problems in Children, Stress and Resilience among Family Physicians, Stroke/TIA—Primary and Secondary Prevention, Travel Medicine, Urinary Incontinence , Venous Leg Ulcers, Venous Thromboembolism, Work-related Asthma
