Moreover, at the MUHC, under the leadership of聽Dr Amal Bessissow, a research program dedicated to optimizing patient outcomes and expanding knowledge in the field of peri-operative medicine is rapidly growing. Through her collaborative work with the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesia, Dr Bessissow and her colleagues have successfully implemented standardized testing pathways in our pre-operative clinics and are developing systems to identify high risk pre-surgical patients requiring dedicated post-operative follow-up. Finally, the Division provides dedicated clinical rotations in peri-operative medicine (in and out-patient) for GIM residents in the five 成人VR视频 GIM hospital sites.
