Dr. Bertrand Routy MD, PhD is a clinician-scientist and associate
professor in the department of hemato-oncology at the CHUM
Bertrand Routy (University of Montreal). Upon his recruitment to the CRCHUM in
2018 after completing his PhD with Pr. Laurence Zitvogel, Dr. Routy
Associate Professor
quickly established himself as the scientific director of the CHUM
CRCHUM, Université de Montréal Microbiome Centre where he began his work to develop novel
microbiome-based therapeutics in oncology.
His work contributed to the discovery of the gut microbiome as a novel
prognostic biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in various
cancers. He characterized the deleterious impact of antibiotic-related
gut dysbiosis on ICI outcomes, which led to pivotal changes in clinical
oncology practice. Moreover, he demonstrated that modulation of the
microbiome by fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, and
prebiotic supplementation had the potential to circumvent ICI
resistance. His team currently leads several microbiota-centered trials
in oncology ranging from phase I to phase II trials, with the aim of
decreasing primary ICI resistance.
Dr. Routy is internationally recognized as a leader in the microbiome
field with more than 17,300 citations including publications in Science,
Nature Medicine and Annals of oncology, and h-index of 43. Moreover,

years. Prior to my arrival here, I started to participate in CERVOLET

Université Laval, CERVO Brain Research Center
years I have been the vice-president of the association and working
not only to develop professional and academic events for the

understanding molecular and cellular mechanism of chronic stress
leading to the development of depressive disorders and therapeutic
approaches. Considering that graduate students have increased
exposure to chronic stress leading to higher risks of developing
depression, I believe that we should work to improve the working
environment and studying conditions of all graduate students. In
2023, I started participating in ICAM organization committee as a

Context: The theme of student mobility is in line with the strategic priorities of the Djerba Declaration: Partnership
for Health Equity in the Francophone Community. A fundamental objective of medical training is to help learners
build their own professional identity, often influenced by that of teachers and patient-partners.

Methodology: The Symposium is organized as a World café-style workshop involving students and healthcare
professionals. Participants are arranged in sub-groups around tables to discuss the questions posed by the
moderator under each objective, followed by a summary presentation of the exchanges from each round, and then a
general discussion.

Expected results: The recommendations arising from the students' work will guide the implementation of a new
strategic approach to healthcare student mobility.

Conclusion: Student mobility is a determinant of Social Responsibility in Health; the results of the Symposium will be
presented and discussed in this orientation on the 23rd International University Days of the CIDMEF (Strasbourg, 1-
4 May 2024) in the presence of the Deans of the Faculties of Medicine of the French-speaking world.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Identify the skills to be acquired in connection with student mobility;
2. Describe ethical concepts for equitable partnerships;
3. Recognize the challenges of student mobility at the local level;
4. Assess the impact of mobility on the development of health-care students' professional
identity.

 The gut microbiome in oncology from a joke
to one of the hallmarks of cancer

Hyatt Regency | Plaza A/B

Bertrand Routy
Associate Professor
CRCHUM, Université de Montréal

SYNOPSIS

The Joe Doupe Young Investigator award is given to a health scientist that demonstrates excellence in
research training and has accomplished a significant and innovative study in the initial stages of their
independent academic appointment.

Immune checkpoint blockers (ICB) have revolutionized the treatment of various cancers in both early and
advanced stages. However current available biomarkers are neither sensitive nor specific at predicting
outcome, and resistance to ICB is inevitable for most patients. Therefore, there is a world-wide unmet
medical need for breakthrough concepts to predict outcome to ICB and to develop strategies to enhance
long-term outcomes. Robust evidence has pointed to the various mechanisms by which intestinal bacteria
act on distal tumors, and metagenomics profiling of patient stool prior to ICB revealed that baseline
microbiome composition is associated with ICB clinical outcome and immune related toxicities. Recently
positive clinical trials combining fecal microbiota transplantation with ICB opened novel therapeutic
avenues in oncology.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Discover the various mechanisms by which intestinal bacteria act on cancer

immunotherapy response;
2. Review the literature on the negative impact of antibiotics;
3. Understand the various strategies to shift the microbiome composition.

SYNOPSIS

Excellence in medical education is increasingly being judged through the lens of public good.
Accreditation in Canada now requires medical schools to demonstrate how they are impacting the
priority health needs of local citizens and society, beyond just graduating a fit-for-purpose
workforce. The goal of positively impacting population health outcomes has become a driving
force behind an international movement to advance social accountability and accreditation
standards. This workshop builds upon the work of the AFMC International Think Tank on
Accreditation and Social Accountability and will endeavor to share evidence about accreditation
as a lever for change and highlight steps being taken towards building consensus around medical
education accreditation standards for better care.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Provide participants with an overview of what has been done to advance social
accountability and accreditation and what is being planned; specifically
international efforts to build consensus;
2. Provide participants an opportunity to learn from international leaders in
accreditation research and social accountability and identify ways to get
involved.

At the international level, leadership is failing us. The fossil fuel industry is dominating conversations and
we saw this at the most recent UN’s conference of the parties (COP). But on the local scale, the
revolution is happening.

Renewable energy is now the cheapest forms of electricity and communities and municipalities are
putting in the work to get off of fossil fuels. Community-centered climate solutions are here and
accessible.

We all need to come together to change the way for the sake of our planetary health but it’s not so
daunting if we look to what’s already happening on the ground. Hear from Severn what we need to do.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Recognize and strategize to counter the fossil fuel industry’s tactics to stall climate
policies;
2. Actively seek education to develop and disseminate community-centered climate
solutions here in Canada;
3. Engage in the process of change at the personal, community and political level.

 The 3 Ps of a Curricular Edifice

Saturday, April 13, 2024

2:00 - 2:30 p.m. PDT

Hyatt Regency | Regency Ballroom

Donald Boudreau
Associate Professor
McGill University

SYNOPSIS

The AFMC Gold Humanism Award and Lecture was created in 2018 to emphasize, reinforce and
enhance the importance of humanistic qualities in healthcare and academic medicine. Every year,
the recipient of the AFMC Gold Humanism Award is invited to deliver a lecture at the
International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM).

The lecture will focus on the needs of learners in the clinical setting illustrating how these needs
are occasionally misaligned with the practices and priorities of clinical teachers. A simple model,
based on a three level curricular edifice, will be presented as a possible corrective lens.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Categorize learner needs, based on a simple three-level framework for a

curricular edifice;
2. Define and recognize phatic communication;
3. Define and discuss clinical wisdom.

 The struggling medical student: Insights
from lived experience research
Saturday, April 13, 2024

SYNOPSIS

The AFMC John Ruedy Award for Excellence In Graduate Health Professions Education Scholarship
recognizes learners for their scholarly potential in health professions education (HPE). The recipient of the
John Ruedy Award will present their innovative work to the ICAM audience at the John Ruedy
symposium.

Academic underperformance and struggle are critical issues in undergraduate medical education. Three
questions will be explored in this session: 1) What is academic struggle? 2) How is it experienced? and 3)
What does it do? Using a phenomenological approach and concepts from philosophy, the presenter
demonstrates how attending to the lived experience of struggling medical students can challenge our
current understandings of remediation and improve the way learners are supported through their
challenges.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Identify gaps within the research literature on academic struggle in medical education and
evaluate the consequences of these gaps in knowledge;
2. Assess what insights a phenomenological study can bring to current understandings of
academic struggle in medical education;
3. Recognize the susceptibility of struggling medical students to moral harms such as epistemic
injustice.

teams with guidance on best practices and key messaging. The panel discussion delves into the driving force
behind this crucial initiative and explores the potential impact of the final document endorsed by the Board of
the AFMC.

Be part of this enlightening conversation as committee members share their perspectives on the significance
of this redefined approach to technical standards. Discover how the document offers exemplar Functional
Abilities for Students Entering and Completing Medical School, paving the way for more meaningful
opportunities and greater disability inclusion in Canadian medical education.

Don't miss this enlightening live recording that promises to be a catalyst for positive change in the landscape
of medical education. Also, after the conference, tune in to the upcoming episode of the "Docs with
Disabilities" podcast and be a part of the movement towards a more inclusive and diverse future in Canadian

SYNOPSIS

Learning the foundational sciences forms an important basis of the training programs for many healthcare
providers, and health sciences educators play an essential role in teaching them. However, the world around us
is more than ever changing rapidly and new developments in didactical and technological areas occur. Science
educators are expected to take on additional teaching roles for which they are often not adequately prepared,
and they face issues of educator and student diversity, equity, and inclusion, scholarly expectations in career
development, and quickly advancing technologies taking over traditional teaching methods.

In this symposium, we will discuss several of these challenges like the increasing role of scholarship and
publications, different pathways for science educators to medical education and leadership, and the uprise of
educational technologies taking over content expert role of educators. In the general discussion we will seek
for insights from the audience.

SYNOPSIS

Join us for an illuminating live recording of the "Docs with Disabilities" podcast as we explore the vital
topic of disability inclusion in Canadian education. This panel discussion promises a comprehensive review
of research findings, an exploration of future goals, and a look at the potential positive impact on
improving patient care.

The conversation kicks off with an insightful discussion on why it is imperative to consider disability as a
central aspect of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. Our panelists will delve into the expansive
reach of disability, spanning across multiple marginalized identities and lived experiences. Through
engaging dialogue, we will address the evolution of disability inclusion in medical education in Canada,
shedding light on the significant developments and research.

The discussion will not only highlight the current “state of affairs” but also envision a "reimagined" future
for inclusive medical education in Canada. Panelists will share their perspectives on what they hope to see
in terms of advancements in medical education, patient care, and ongoing diversity initiatives.

To ensure an interactive and engaging experience, the session will conclude with a Q&A session with the
audience. We invite questions from the audience and encouraging a dynamic exchange of ideas and
insights.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a crucial conversation that aims to shape the future of medical
education in Canada by placing disability inclusion at its core. Tune in to the upcoming episode of the
"Docs with Disabilities" podcast and join us in envisioning a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable future
for all.
