Brief Biography

Sylvain is cross-appointed between the anesthesia department and the department of innovation in medical innovation, and is the Founding Director of the Fellowship in Medical Education and Knowledge Translation in Perioperative Medicine and Anesthesiology. Sylvain also works as a staff anesthesiologist at The Ottawa Hospital and is an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa. He completed his training in anesthesiology and intensive care in France in 2005, has extensive experience in pre-hospital emergency medicine, and holds a PhD of Education. Prior to joining the Ottawa team, Sylvain completed a simulation and medical education fellowship at the University of Toronto. For several years, his research investigates strategies and tools, such as debriefing or cognitive aids, to improve skill retention in healthcare. He is currently using these findings to bring education science to bedside using knowledge translation strategies to optimize patients’ outcome.
