The Division of Education & Innovation is very interested in maximizing the work done by faculty. Where possible, members are encouraged to ‘think big’: explore opportunities for commercialization, scale efforts to other departments and institutions, and seek new collaboration opportunities. In addition, DEI has a Community of Practice (CoP) specifically dedicated to exploring the potential of different educational efforts. This CoP is open to members from any McMaster University faculty or academic institution. We encourage you to learn more about success stories and the CoP below.

This game was co-designed with emergency medicine faculty and medical students. The goal was to create a game that could allow future doctors to learn systems approaches to patient management in a safe, low-stakes environment.
