Mount Sinai Hospital is in the midst of substantial expansion and transformational change. The Toronto Centre for Phenogenomics and the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute expansion at 11 Orde Street are under construction and will soon be operational. Mount Sinai has also received permission and funding from the Ontario government towards building a patient care obstetrics facility, an ambulatory surgery centre and refurbishing its facilities. As well, the hospital has established a new strategic plan. This new strategic plan includes five clinical centres of excellence: Women’s and Infant’s Health, Chronic diseases (medicine), Surgical specialties and Oncology, the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, and most notably, Laboratory Medicine and Infection Control. The establishment of Laboratory Medicine and Infection Control as a Centre of Excellence acknowledges the strengths and stature of both Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Medical Microbiology not only at Mount Sinai Hospital but in the external community. That Laboratory Medicine and Infection Control is considered a Centre of Excellence is a major opportunity for the laboratories at Mount Sinai Hospital, as this is a virtually unique organizational structure in Canadian health care. For many years, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine has served clients beyond Mount Sinai. These clients include other hospitals but also pharma and medical device corporations in the private sector. This commercial activity has brought many benefits including connectivity to the community and access to advanced technology from around the world to Mount Sinai Hospital. In recognition of these benefits, a new company, MOUNT SINAI SERVICES, has been established to expand future commercial opportunities related to diagnostics. This year, a substantial boost to laboratory services infrastructure at Mount Sinai Hospital was the award of $1,248,000 of federal/provincial Designated Medical Equipment funding to laboratory services. For Pathology and Laboratory Medicine this has facilitated several important initiatives including an automated blood bank system, renewal of our coagulation system, and flow cytometer, and the establishment of more automated histologic processing technology. Over the past year, our collaborative activity with the Hospital for Sick Children has increased greatly. These collaborations include perinatal pathology, and genetics. A notable clinical development has been the establishment of the Fred Litwin Clinical Genetics Centre which will amplify Mount Sinai’s strength in clinical genetics. This is accompanied by further outreach of our laboratory genetics services including a collaborative program with Lakeridge Health Centre. We welcome Dr. Patrick Shannon to our staff. Dr. Shannon is a neuropathologist with a special interest in developmental perinatology. Dr. Shannon will join Dr. Sarah Keating and Dr. Sandra Viero in building the regional program in Fetal and Perinatal Pathology. All of us were deeply saddened by the death of our beloved colleague, Dr. Yvan Bédard. Yvan was widely regarded as one of Canada’s most outstanding diagnostic cytopathologists and pathology educators. In his career at Mount Sinai Hospital spanning 34 years, Dr. Bédard educated over 60 residents and fellows in cytopathology. The advancement of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital is highly dependent on expertise of both our medical/scientific and support staff and their capacity to work together towards the common goals of enhancing health care, education and research. We acknowledge their continuing contributions with gratitude and pride. Once again, we thank the administration of Mount Sinai Hospital led by Joseph Mapa for continuing support and encouragement of all our endeavours. HONOURS/AWARDS/APPOINTMENTS Appointments Dr. Yvan Bédard, Head of Cytopathology and Electron Microscopy, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, has been selected as the 2006 recipient of the Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, University of Toronto, Distinguished Service Award. This award honours Dr. Bédard’s 34 years of leadership in teaching and innovative service related to Cytopathology and Electron Microscopy, as well as his local and national contributions in the advancement of resident education. Dr. Terry Colgan has been appointed Section Editor for Cytopathology, Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Terry Colgan has been appointed Co-Chair, Toronto Regional Co-coordinating Committee, (for Laboratory Reform), Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Province of Ontario. As well, Dr. Colgan has been appointed Academic Representative to the Laboratory Medicine Funding Implementation Committee (LMFIC) of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Ontario, and the Ontario Medical Association. Dr. Terry Colgan has been appointed External reviewer, Division of Anatomical Pathology, Ottawa University.

Mr. Gaman Modi has been appointed as a member of the Board of Directors to the Ontario Safety Association for Community & Healthcare for a 3 year term from 2005 to 2008. As well, Mr. Modi has been appointed as Vice Chair to the Advisory Board of the Ontario Laboratory Accreditation Program, QMP-LS, 2005-2006 and has been re-appointed to the Scientific Advisory Panel for the Canadian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science, 2005-2006. | 7 Awards Dr. Anita Bane received the Irish-North American Association of Pathologists’ award, for her platform presentation ”BRCA2 associated breast cancers exhibit a luminal phenotype despite their high histologic grade” at the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology Meeting, Atlanta, 2006. Dr. Eleftherios Diamandis was awarded the Frey-Werle commemorative gold medal from the Frey-Werle Foundation, Australia, 2006. Dr. Valérie Dubé, Clinical Fellow, supervised by Dr. Terry Colgan received the Best Platform Presentation Award at the Annual U of T Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Research Day in May 2006, for an oral presentation of her paper: “The Toronto Endometrial Proteomic Initiative: towards discovery of new endometrial cancer biomarkers”. Dr. Mock received a scholastic teaching award from the Alpha Omega fraternity, Toronto, 2006. Dr. Anne Marie Mulligan, Clinical Fellow, supervised by Dr. Frances O’Malley has been selected as a faculty member for the Toronto Breast Day Continuing Education Program. Dr. Kenneth Pritzker was the recipient of the Karen McGibbon Award of Excellence together with Mount Sinai Hospital Network of Knowledge Team affiliated with the Peter Silverman Centre for International Health, 2005. CLINICAL SERVICES Patient Services Patient Services is one of Mount Sinai’s front doors with over 90,000 patients seen each year by our dedicated staff. Over the year, space was secured and plans were advanced for enlarging our ambulatory care laboratory at 700 University Avenue. Clinical Biochemistry Maternal Serum Screening Program: The Program continued to grow in size and complexity with the addition of a new biomarker inhibin A, conversion of the triple screen to the quadruple version, generation of first trimester Trisomy 18 and 13 risk, and introduction of the first and second trimester integrated screen option. The ability of the screens to predict better Downs’ Syndrome and other Trisomies was demonstrated after linking screen risks to the karyotype outcome in the Cytogenetics database. In Vitro Fertilization Hormone testing was consolidated on the new Roche Modular automated analyzer, thereby simplifying specimen handling and facilitating rapid delivery of test results to the clinical service monitoring progress of the developing follicle. Reference Ranges With medical leadership from Dr. Irv Bromberg, the Division of Clinical Biochemistry is continuing its efforts to establish meaningful reference ranges for all analytes. Significant progress on this project has been made and approximately 100 normal volunteers are now participating. We are currently in the stage of analyzing the distributions for deriving reference ranges. We are also participating in a similar effort, initiated by the College of American Pathologists. | 9 Hematopathology & Blood Transfusion A new high speed flow cytometry cell sorter “BD FACSAria” was acquired. This will facilitate the research on hemopoietic stem cells under the guidance of Dr. Wang. Mr. Shahcheraghi successfully completed his MSc on the pathophysiology of anti-K haemolytic disease of the newborn under the supervision of Dr. Denomme. Dr. J. Pendergrast successfully completed the Royal College fellowship in Transfusion Medicine. Dr. Hamid Jahanmahar is continuing his sabbatical working on computerized image analysis of malignant lymphocytes. Dr. Jahanmahar is from Tehran University of Medicine Sciences, and assistant professor and director of Hematology Laboratory in the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. Rapid Response Laboratory This past year saw one of the biggest changes to date. Newly acquired space was completely renovated to suit the needs of the biochemistry section. New supply cabinets were built to specifically store the daily supplies required in the RRL. Items are clearly labeled and displayed resulting in improved inventory control and management. The entire middle section of the lab was renovated to accommodate the new Roche Modular platform which went into operation in September. This system revolutionized how chemistry samples are now processed in that it integrates all three phases – pre-analytics, analytics and post – analytics. The introduction of this system ensures improved turnaround time for results reporting, less blood drawn on patients, backup and expansion capabilities. The Roche Modular Analytical and Pre-Analytical Systems are now fully integrated into the clinical service and they perform well. Additional analytical capabilities are realized by implementing automated ELISA platforms for specialty testing and maternal serum screening programs. The RRL was fortunate to also acquire additional equipment through the DME funding process. New coagulation equipment is now operational and promises to be more cost effective and improve turn around times for results reporting. The transfusion medicine laboratory is seeing automation for the first time with the purchase of the Galileo Automated System, .scheduled to be implemented in November. A new protein and urine electrophoresis analyzer introduced in May 2006 is more cost effective, more user friendly and has cut down dramatically the time for results reporting. The Auto Delphia replaces other platforms used for Prenatal Screening Testing and the NexGen has the ability to automate some of our more labour intensive testing. Pathology A major thrust of activity in anatomical pathology was progress towards incorporation of synoptic reporting into surgical pathology reports. As well, there were trends toward increased utilization of immunohistochemical biomarkers related to expanded indicators for HER2 testing for breast cancer, as well as increased demands for immunohistochemistry related to consultation cases. Dr. Patrick Shannon, a neuropathologist with special expertise in perinatal pathology was welcomed to our staff. As well as his other duties, Dr. Shannon will have responsibility for the adult autopsy service, as well as administrative direction of ultrastructural pathology. Cytopathology Planning is underway to expand the capacity of the liquid-based cytopathology technology with more automated equipment. Dr. Shabin Nanji, a cytopathologist with special interest in education and telepathology, has been recruited to Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Nanji joined Mount Sinai Hospital in October 2006. Ultrastructural Pathology Dr. Bédard initiated the Electron Microscopy Service at Mount Sinai Hospital in 1972. Over the past 34 years under Dr. Bédard, this service has grown to be the most respected diagnostic electron microscopic service in Canada. Many leading pathologists in Canada, who are experts in Electron Microscopy, trained as residents with Dr. Bédard. Dr. Patrick Shannon has assumed a role of Principal Consultant for this service, succeeding Dr. Yvan Bédard. The Electron Microscopy Service continues to enjoy high utilization, particularly for examination of tumours, kidney biopsies, connective tissues and crystal analysis. Canadian Reference Centre for Cancer Pathology (CRCCP) Under the direction of Dr. Theo van der Kwast, the CRCCP continues its role as a tumour reference centre principally for pathologists in more remote communities in Canada. With Dr. Doug Tkachuk, Objective Pathology Services, discussion has started on a proposal to digitize the CRCCP cases to make these cases more widely available throughout Canada. | 11 Laboratory Genetics An active collaboration in Genetics has been established with the Lakeridge Health Centre. In Cytogenetics, this has resulted in rearrangement of workload between Lakeridge Health Centre and Mount Sinai Hospital to enhance services at both sites. Dr. Elena Kolomietz has been cross-appointed to Lakeridge Health Centre to be the Laboratory Director of Cytogenetics. Planning is underway to upgrade the software workstations for Cytogenetics. As well, Dr. Elena Kolomietz has started exploration on the deployment of gene-based microarrays in Cytogenetics. This technology, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), has promise to identify genetic diseases not detectable by conventional Cytogenetics. Gene probes using fluorescence in situ (FISH techniques) are used to identify genes in both Antenatal Cytogenetics and in tumour tissues. Mount Sinai Hospital has received a grant from Roche Diagnostics to advance this technology, with the goal of making the technique more robust and less time consuming. In Molecular Genetics, an ABI-3130XL automated DNA sequencer was deployed together with DNA sequence and fragment analysis software from Applied Biosystems, complemented by the Mutation Surveyor and Gene Marker software packages from SoftGenetics. This equipment has accelerated the diagnosis of genetic abnormalities, particularly in the Predictive Genetics of Cancer Program. Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is collaborating with the Hospital for Sick Children and with Solutions by Sequence, a company associated with Dr. Brenda Gallie, to provide retinoblastoma gene testing throughout Ontario. The implementation of Laboratory Information System Module “SoftGene” for Molecular Genetics is underway with a “go live” schedule for late 2007. Andrology Plans are underway for expanding the ambulatory lab, as well as the Andrology Diagnostic Laboratory. Dr. Sergey Moskovtsev has been recruited as a staff scientist for the Andrology Laboratory. New tests for specimen function are being implemented. As well, a flow cytometer has been installed to provide tests to detect DNA fragmentation. Rachel and David Rubinoff Bone and Tissue Bank Over the past year, the Rubinoff Bone and Tissue Bank strengthened its capacity to provide more tissues under stringent accreditation standards. The Rubinoff Bank is working with the Trillium Gift of Life to provide bone tissue for applications throughout Ontario and beyond. These services are provided to other hospitals on a cost recovery basis. The Jeffrey Rubinoff Stem Cell Bank This is a new bank designed to retain autologous haematopoietic tissues for future placement in the original donor. Work on development of the bank is under the direction of Dr. Chen Wang. A key issue is decisions related to the disease indications for cell storage banking and the appropriate point in the disease progression to harvest the cells. To address these questions, Dr. Wang is investigating a class of lymphoproliferatiove disease, which by the available biomarkers can remain quiescent for at least a decade. | 13 LABORATORY INFORMATICS Laboratory Information System In 1992 Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (PLM) made the strategic decision to find a single vendor solution for its laboratory information systems for each laboratory section. Soft Computer Consultants (SCC) was chosen as a vendor and in 1994 the first module (a Blood Bank system) was installed. Between 1996 and 2000 other modules were installed for chemistry, hematology, microbiology and pathology. Between 2003 and 2004 the LIS underwent a major upgrade (going live November 29, 2004) involving all areas of the laboratory. With this upgrade a beta version of SoftGene was introduced to the LIS. LIS updates have continued through 2005 / 2006, including a sequential upgrade of all the laboratory systems, going LIVE June 15, 2006. SoftGene has been promoted from the beta product initially introduced, to a much more robust information system for handling cytogenetics information. The backend of the LIS was strengthened in 2005/2006, with an upgrade of the LIS servers (completed April 13, 2006) and the move of the LIS servers to the Markham data centre (March 13, 2006). The move the Markham data centre ensures that the LIS information is stored and archived in a safe and reliable manner. Expanded Interfaces The main clinical laboratory underwent a major renovation in 2005/2006. With this renovation a number of new analytical machines were introduced to the laboratory. The interface to the Roche analytics and per-analytics was implemented in September, 2005 and the interface to the Biorad Variant II was implemented in May 2006. Citrix Support Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has worked to allow all the professional staff remote access to network drives and the Laboratory Information System via a Citrix solution. Following corrections found in the pilot project, the Citrix solution has allowed the access to crucial files and information from remote locations around the world. The introduction of the Citrix solution has also allowed several pathologists and support staff to work off-site. Web Site/Communications Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has worked in connection with Mount Sinai Public relations to create a distinct web site. Part of this project was the joint supervision of a communications student (Keefe Lee) for web site development. In addition, PLM is working with the Mount Sinai library to assist in the development of web site content and other departmental communications. The initial web site went live in the spring of 2005. Further enhancements have been made to the site and the content has been enriched since the initial site was launched. Mr. Keefe Lee has continued to develop departmental communications media and is working on developing products for PLM research services. Paradigm Document Control System Controlling the hundreds of documents within PLM is a monumental task. To assist with management of the laboratory documentation, the Paradigm Document Control System was introduced June 1st, 2006. As part of this system all members of PLM have access to necessary documents through a web interface. Using this system it should be possible to ensure that all members of the staff are using the current and most up to date version of Standard Operating Protocols. This program should also help assist with the continual document review and updating that occurs within Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Digital Imaging Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has continued to move from traditional photography to digital imaging solutions. All gross images are taken with digital cameras and the vast majority of photomicrographs are taken digitally (all pathologists have digital cameras and a shared digital camera is available for residents). Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is also continuing to evaluate and consider a number of solutions to handle the growing number of digital images. Finding the solution to handle all of PLM’s digital needs is not a trivial matter. Investigation into possible solutions is ongoing. Digital X-Rays A system to capture digital X-Rays was introduced in 2006, moving PLM to essentially complete digital imaging. As a complete digital imaging management solution for the department has not yet been implemented, an interim solution using a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) has been introduced for the digital X-Rays. Digital Slide Scanning A complete slide scanner was introduced to PLM in 2006. This system incorporates technologies from a variety of companies, including software from Visiopharm that has advanced capabilities in image analysis and morphometry. The digital slide scanner has also been introduced to assist with the interpretation of the tissue slide microarrays that are being produced within the department. Using the slide scanner and microarray software it should be possible to capture individual images of all the cores within the microarray. These images will then be incorporated with the data from the cores, allowing both local and distant interpretation and analysis of our microarray data. | 15 RENOVATIONS & RELOCATIONS The expanded Rapid Response Laboratory was opened on December 19, 2005 by Mr. George Smitherman, Minister of Health of Ontario in conjunction with his announcement of the Designated Medical Equipment funding for laboratory services. The highlight of the Rapid Response Laboratory expansion is the Roche chemistry system. This fully automated system includes extensive pre-analytical automation as well as automated chemistry and immunochemistry analyzers all linked by an automated specimen conveyor system. The pre-analytical component consists of centrifuges and specimen aloquoting system. This facility is amongst the most advanced in the world. Early experience indicates that this instrumentation is fulfilling its promise of decreasing labour and decreasing turnaround time. With the relocation of the Sysmex hematology system to be immediately adjacent to the chemistry system, the Rapid Response Laboratory is even more capable of providing fast, efficient service at all times. In the next phases of this project, space will be made available for new specialized chemistry analyzers, new coagulation instruments, an automated blood bank system and new refrigerated storage. This project was accompanied by the completion of the HVAC renovation of this portion of the laboratories, and the installation of a sprinkler system. These features have greatly enhanced the capacity and flexibility of the Rapid Response Laboratory. In June 2006 Dr. Eleftherios Diamandis relocated his research laboratories to the Koffler Centre at 60 Murray Street. These laboratories will be adjacent to the clinical facilities for the Koffler Centre for Men’s Health as well as the research genetics facilities associated with Drs. Bharati Bapat, Steve Gallinger and Hilmi Özçelik all of whom are members of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Over the current year Mount Sinai Hospital embarked on a plan for capital renewal which includes both short term and long term capital planning. In the short term, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is planning facilities for its Andrology Ambulatory Laboratory, renovation/expansion of the 3rd floor ambulatory lab at the Ontario Power Generation building to accommodate the expansion of the Women’s Program. As well, facilities for flow cytometry, a specialized facility to enable protein extractions, a facility to house an advanced, high resolution, specialized x-ray machine, space for morphometry including tissue microarray, and expansion of laboratory genetics space are planned. In the longer term a comprehensive plan for renovation/expansion of Histology and Autopsy facilities is planned as well as more definitive and purpose built space for laboratory genetics. QUALITY PROGRAMS Accreditations, Regulatory Certifications/Registrations The pursuit of high quality in all our activities for the benefit of our patients, students and clients is a continuous endeavour within Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The year was marked with significant enhancement in developing a core set of laboratory patient safety goals for pre- and post-analytic laboratory processes such as patient/sample identification, verification & communication of life threatening or life altering information, identification/communication/correction of errors and more importantly coordination of the laboratory patient safety role within the hospital.

This pathology update course is one of the largest pathology CME events hosted by the University of Toronto. Dr. Iona Leong continued to coordinate the Head and Neck Group Pathology Rounds she initiated in 2002. These rounds are a monthly educational event for regional anatomic and oral pathologists focused around interesting head and neck pathology. These rounds are hosted by Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Pathology and Laboratory Medicine staff continues in a variety of specialty clinical rounds on a regular basis, including several rounds that are driven by members of our department. These rounds include: Breast Tumour Board: General Surgery/Gastrointestinal Rounds: Inflammatory Bowel Disease Rounds: Sarcoma Tumour Boards: Head and Neck Rounds: Neonatal Rounds: Gynaecologic Pathology: Gastrointestinal Tumour Board: Urology Tumour Board: Andrology Rounds: Dr. Frances O’Malley Dr. Robert Riddell Dr. Robert Riddell Dr. Rita Kandel Dr. Dave Howarth Dr. Kenneth Pritzker Dr. Christina MacMillan Dr. Sarah Keating Dr. Patrick Shannon Dr. Terence Colgan Dr. Aaron Pollett Dr. Theo van der Kwast Dr. Brendan Mullen Harold G. Pritzker Memorial Lecture 2006 Harold Goldsmith Pritzker was the Pathologist-in-Chief at Mount Sinai Hospital from 1938 to 1963. Upon his death, his colleagues in all disciplines established an Annual Memorial Lectureship Fund, which was transferred to the Academy of Medicine. A committee was created, which included representatives of the founding bodies, namely the Academy of Medicine, Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Toronto. With the demise of the Academy of Medicine in 1992, the Annual Memorial Lecture continued with the generous support of the hospital administration and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of Mount Sinai Hospital. The initial lecture was delivered in 1965. Throughout the years, this lecture has become one of the most distinguished lecture series attracting some of the most celebrated names in Pathology and related fields. The guest lecturer for the 41st Annual Pritzker Memorial Lecture was Professor Olli Kallioniemi from Finland, who presented “Translational Cancer Systems Biology” April 24th, 2006. Research Student Programs Undergraduate Research Pathology and Laboratory Medicine continued to provide summer research experience for undergraduate students. A total of 19 summer students were at PLM over the summer of 2006 under the supervision of 15 different staff members. The list of summer students with their supervisors and titles/projects is presented in Appendix H. Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Undergraduate Project Students, Nanotechnology In 2005-2006, Dr. Kenneth Pritzker supervised two students: Ms. Grace So, Materials Science and Engineering: Thesis title “Characterization of Hydrophobic Fullerene Derivatives and Liposome Formulations for Potential Applications in Photodynamic Therapy” Mr. Lawrence Lee, Engineering Science: Thesis title “Characterization and Gold-Doping of Hexadecaanilinated Carbon Nanotubes”. Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, Undergraduate Project Students In 2005-2006, Dr. Kenneth Pritzker supervised Mr. Jovil Kanampuza in his studies on effects of alkaline phosphatase of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal dissolution. Dr. Rita Kandel supervised Mr. Edward Hadzocos, project title: p53 and benign breast disease”; and Mr. Igal Raizman, project title: “Mechanical stimulation and its effect on the different zones of cartilage. Graduate Students Forty-six graduate students are under the supervision of 8 PLM staff. A list of graduate students with their project titles and supervisors is presented in Appendix D. We are proud to have several award winners among our graduate students, including: Facundo Las Heras (Kenneth Pritzker), ACE Trainee studentship award Miralem Mrkonjic (Bharati Bapat), MSc LMP Award (Graduate student research day) In addition to direct supervision of graduate studies, the staff also coordinate numerous graduate courses offered by the University of Toronto, including: LMP1016 Pathology of Connective Tissue (Dr. K.P.H. Pritzker) LMP 1407 Introductory Biostatistics and Clinical Investigation (Dr. R. Veith) LMP 1506 Techniques in Functional Genomics and Proteomics (Dr. E. Diamandis) | 25 Postgraduate Students Twenty-one postdoctoral students are currently pursuing research studies in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. A list of postdoctoral students with their project titles and supervisors is listed in Appendix G. Technical Education Medical Laboratory Science Program This program includes training in microbiology, blood transfusion services, haematopathology, biochemistry and histotechnology. A total of eight students from three different programs undergo portions of clinical training at PLM. St. Lawrence College Emily Dabous, Connie Pearson, Gefei Wang The Michener Institute Bjorn Greppmayr, Wei Liu, Lisa Manning and Catherine Pandy Mohawk College Mohammed Ghannam (short program for foreign graduates) Discussions are underway with the Medical Laboratory Science Program of the Ontario Institute of Technology to provide clinical experience for their students. Mount Sinai Hospital is also engaged in teaching cytopathology students from the Michener Institute related to changes in curriculum. No students were present at MSH over the past year. Genetics Technology Three students in the Genetic Technology Programme underwent their clinical rotations at Mount Sinai Hospital. The students were: Ana Baptistia Kayu Chin Nadine Sharpe Mark Ballantyne Amanda Fowler. Starting in 2004, John Tzountzouris has been appointed the clinical coordinator for the Molecular Genetics Rotations and he continued in this role through 2005. Continuing Education: Technical and Support Staff Technical and support staff are strongly encouraged to attend courses, seminars, lectures and conferences and congresses. In 2005 / 2006 60 staff members were sponsored for over 90 courses and seminars. Continuing education via teleconference is offered to all staff (the list of teleconferences offered in 2005 / 2006 is given in Appendix J). Monthly In-Service Education sessions for the histotechnology and cytotechnology staff continue to be well attended. These sessions are coordinated by Jan Church and have included presentations delivered by the departmental technical and professional staff. Monthly Genetics Educations Sessions, presented by scientific experts in the field are provided for all PLM technical genetics staff. These rounds were initiated by John Tzountzouris in 2003 and continued through the 2005 / 2006 academic year. Schulich School of Business Education Opportunities These Schulich courses are organized under the leadership of Mr. Vince D’Mello and are designed to enhance the management skills of our staff. One course was offered to members of the PLM in 2005 – 2006: “Working Towards a Conflict Free Work Environment”, January 12th and 13th, 2006, attended by 23 staff members. Volunteer Student Program Several high school students spent up to five months at Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, predominately in the Cytopathology and Surgical Pathology sections. This very successful co-operative programme exposes these students to observe, at an early stage, the important role played by laboratory medicine in the diagnosis and management of patients. After completion of the programme, the students usually receive a high school credit or an Ontario Academic Credit (OAC). With the Volunteer’s Office, volunteers are encouraged to observe and assist in the laboratories. Occasionally, these volunteers are high school students but, more frequently, are university undergraduates seeking additional exposure to a medical environment. | 27 SPONSORED RESEARCH AND INNOVATION Research and Innovation continues principally in cancer diagnostics, articular skeletal diseases and bioengineering, fetal and perinatal diseases and genetics. Much of this work is collaborative, internally with clinical colleagues and with investigators at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute and externally with colleagues in similar fields worldwide. The activities, although in a few select areas, do range from fundamental research through translational research, introduction of innovation and reduction to practice. This is reflected in the broad range of public and corporate sponsors of the Research and Innovation activity within Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
