Upcoming CHES 2026 Presentation! I’m pleased to share that my roundtable session, “WannaCry: Preparing Medical Learners for Cyber-Disrupted Clinical Care,” has been accepted for UBC’s 2026 CHES Celebration of Scholarship, taking place on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
Together with Dr. Kevin Shi, we’ll be exploring how medical education can better prepare learners and clinicians to respond when cyberattacks disrupt essential hospital and clinical systems. We hope the session will spark a practical conversation about patient safety, clinical decision-making, and the skills healthcare teams need when digital tools supporting the delivery of care are suddenly unavailable.
I’m looking forward to learning from our colleagues and discussing how cybersecurity preparedness can become a more visible part of medical education.
