Medisys is pleased to announce our third health seminar of 2011 for executive and human resources professionals on the topic of genetic testing.
In events held earlier this year, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about mental health issues facing Canadian employers, as well as women’s cancers.
In October, Dr. Clarissa Desjardins, CEO of the Centre of Excellence in Personalized Medicine, will introduce Personalized Medicine, a rapidly evolving branch of medicine and present the benefits and implications of genetic testing. She will also explain how your genetic profile can help to identify health conditions that you may be at a higher risk of developing, predict how you will respond to certain medications and determine your likelihood of passing along genetic markers to your children.
Dr. Desjardins will be sharing her insights into Personalized Medicine at seminars in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal on the following dates:
- October 24 –Calgary
- October 25 –Vancouver
- October 26 –Toronto
- October 27 –Ottawa
- October 28 –Montreal
The sessions are free of charge but by invitation only. If you haven’t received an invitation and wish to attend, please contact us at events@medisys.ca and we will be happy to add you to the attendee list if room is available.
Back by popular demand to build on the successes of prior years, Medisys’ free health seminars for executives and HR professionals got underway in March in major centres across Canada. The first of the three national seminars in 2011 addressed stress and mental health issues and we were gratified by the positive comments that we received from attendees.
The second seminar is being presented in June and it forms part of the women’s health series that is intended for a female audience.
This year’s women’s health topic is cancer prevention. The speaker is Dr. Vivien Brown, Medisys’ National Director for Women’s Health. In addition to her responsibilities at Medisys, Dr. Brown is a family physician with a community-based practice in Toronto and she is also on staff at Mount Sinai Hospital, The University Health Network and North York General Hospital.
