Now that the project is at this point we can look back and see a clear path from the early discussions about collaboration between the Ontario medical schools to this resource. That path was not at all clear when we embarked on this journey.
Before this project:
the medical schools in Ontario had never collaborated on curriculum development
educational technology was that much newer and more novel than it is now - eCOFM was born during this project
we did not have a clear and consistent understanding of what gender and health really was
NOSM had not yet opened its doors to students
We have been able to make this project happen because of the foresight and commitment of the Ontario Medical School Deans, UE-COFM, the generosity of the Ontario Women’s Health Council and the consistent work of GIC-COFM.
