Keynote – Dr. Shelly Dev

Dr. Dev is has been a Staff Intensivist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto since 2006, after completing her Internal Medicine residency and Critical Care Fellowship at The University of Toronto. She complemented her Critical Care training with a fellowship in Multimedia Education and Video Production at the New England Journal of Medicine in Boston.

Most recently, Dr. Dev has been invited widely to write and speak about Physician Burnout, Wellness and Medical Culture. These invitations have included featured interviews on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Radio One, as well as several national and international scientific meetings.

Dr. Dev is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and is the Director of Education in the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Sunnybrook, the Director of Wellness and Mentorship in the Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine at the University of Toronto and the lead of Undergraduate Medical Mentorship at the Peters-Boyd Academy for Sunnybrook, North York General and Women’s College Hospitals

If asked, however, Dr. Dev counts her most significant achievement as continuing to convince 10-year-old Jack and 12-year-old Nathan that being kissed in public by your mother is the coolest thing you can do.
