The goal of this trial is to compare self-reported resilience scores in junior physicians-in-training after completion of formal resilience training. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * Does formal resilience training improve self-reported resilience scores? * Does the timing of resilience training (i.e., first vs second year of residency training) impact the effect of training? All participants will be provided with resources on resilience and learner support as per usual institutional practice. The intervention group will also participate in a formal resilience training program. Researchers will compare self-reported resilience scores 3 months after training to determine the effect of the training program.

AnyPerioperative respiratory complications are a major source of morbidity and mortality. Postoperative atelectasis plays a central role in their development. Protective "open lung" mechanical ventilation aims to minimize the occurrence of atelectasis during the perioperative period. Randomized controlled studies have been performed comparing various "open lung" ventilation protocols, but these studies report varying and conflicting effects. The interpretation of these studies is complicated by the absence of imagery supporting the pulmonary impact associated with the use of different ventilation strategies. Imaging studies suggest that the gain in pulmonary gas content in "open lung" ventilation regimens disappears within minutes after the extubation. Thus, the potential benefits of open-lung ventilation appear to be lost if, at the time of extubation, no measures are used to keep the lungs well aerated. Recent expert recommendations on good mechanical ventilation practices in the operating room conclude that there is actually no quality study on extubation. Extubation is a very common practice for anesthesiologists as part of their daily clinical practice. It is therefore imperative to generate evidence on good clinical practice during anesthetic emergence in order to potentially identify an effective extubation strategy to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.

18 - 65Hypoparathyroidism following thyroid surgery presents significant challenges, often leading to debilitating symptoms and reduced quality of life despite conventional treatment. Having now reported the first successful case of a deceased donor fresh tissue parathyroid allotransplant with immunosuppression in a transplant-naive recipient, the purpose of this study is to further assess the safety and efficacy of this procedure in patients with severe intractable post-surgical hypoparathyroidism.

6 - 80Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), incorporating exposure/response prevention (ERP) and cognitive therapy, is considered the gold-standard first-line treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Because CBT is a psychological treatment that aims to change patterns of thinking and behaving, it may be that improvement in cognitive functioning before treatment starts could lead CBT to be even more effective. One area of research that has shown potential benefit for OCD sufferers is rTMS. rTMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses pulses of energy to stimulate regions of the brain. Brief treatment with rTMS has shown to improve attention, memory, and other aspects of cognitive functioning that may facilitate learning in CBT. The proposed study aims to provide a pilot test of the clinical effectiveness of adding brief rTMS prior to completing CBT for OCD. If rTMS can demonstrate enhancement of cognitive functioning, which in turn, can improve treatment response to CBT, then the findings could easily be translated into routine clinical care.

18 - 70Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is an operation to help with the pain and decreased function that happens with end stage arthritis of the knee. This operation has been shown to be very successful at relieving pain and improving patient mobility; however, some studies have shown that up to 20% of TKR recipients are not happy with their knee replacement. All of the reasons why some patients are not pleased with the outcome of surgery are not known, but one of the possible causes is the way the implants are placed, or aligned, during surgery. Most TKRs are aligned in a fashion that the bones in the leg are completely straight after surgery. This is known as mechanically aligning a TKR. A different alignment method known as kinematic alignment respects the natural bow legged or knock kneed alignment of the patient. It is hoped that kinematically aligning a knee replacement will improve how the knee feels to the patient and therefore improve their satisfaction. Another potential factor affecting the outcomes of TKR is obtaining optimal soft tissue balance. The challenge with balancing a TKR is that traditional operative techniques rely on subjective feel of the knee stability during surgery. The balance or tension in the knee can however be objectively measured using specialized intraoperative pressure sensing devices. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of kinematically aligned TKR on the pressures measured by Verasense during total knee replacements. The study will also determine if differences in the pressure measured during TKR surgery impact patient outcomes after surgery.

21 - 80Project EXCEL will provide community or online exercise programs to rural and remote and under-served cancer survivors, as well as encourage participants to become life-long exercisers. Exercise is an evidence-based self-management strategy that benefits all cancer survivors. However, most cancer survivors who live in remote or rural places don't have adequate opportunities to be involved in exercise programs that are tailored to their needs.

18 - 100It is crucial to understand the social and economic context in which children and youth live; their social determinants of health (SDH). Although this is well recognized, many health care providers do not address SDH because of the lack of easily accessible resources once social needs are identified. Social workers (SW) have the ability to support families once a social need has been identified. However, not every clinic has a SW, and even those that do often struggle to meet the needs of all the families requiring support. The use of social navigators (SN) is an innovative solution for an unmet need. SN models have been successful in primary care settings, but, to date, have not been adapted to address the SDH needs of children and their families receiving care in pediatric specialty care settings. We will implement the first of its kind pediatric SN clinic at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO): "Navigating Social Resources for Children's Health" (NSRCH). Our study will evaluate NSRCH - an innovative, transferable, and low-cost pediatric-specific SN model. Our goal is to support families with SDH needs to access timely, appropriate supports and resources via NSRCH.
