When Lisa Robinson showed up to work on her first day as the new dean of the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine last July, she didn’t need anyone’s help finding her way around campus. The proud U of T alumna and renowned SickKids clinician-scientist has also served as a longtime faculty member and academic leader at Temerty Medicine — helping shape the faculty into the health education, research and patient care powerhouse it is today.

Now, as dean, Robinson has set out to harness her deep Toronto roots and keen appreciation for the Temerty Medicine community’s distinct strengths to grow their impact on health and health care even further.  

In this next offering in our popular Temerty Medicine Talks series, join Dean Robinson and the Globe and Mail’s André Picard as they discuss Robinson’s personal and professional journey to Temerty Medicine’s Dean’s Office, the uniquely challenging times in which we’re operating, as well as where she sees the greatest opportunities to take our efforts to new heights.
