Wijeratne</strong> as the <strong>Department of Psychiatry Fellowship Program Director</strong>, effective <strong>September 30, 2026</strong>, for a <strong>five-year term</strong>. </span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>Dr. Wijeratne is a highly respected educational leader within our department and beyond. Over the past decade, she has provided exceptional leadership in Undergraduate Medical Education, including the Pre-Clerkship Program, where she has been instrumental in developing innovative educational initiatives and advancing curriculum delivery. In addition to her educational accomplishments, Dr. Wijeratne has made significant contributions to clinical care, particularly in the area of eating disorders. Most recently, she was selected to serve a two-year term on the <strong>Eating Disorders Provincial Advisory Table</strong>, reflecting her recognized expertise and leadership in this important area of practice.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Wijeratne assumes leadership of our Fellowship Program. Her vision, commitment to excellence, and extensive experience in education and clinical innovation position her well to further strengthen and expand the program. I have no doubt that under her leadership, the Fellowship Program will continue to thrive and make meaningful contributions to our department, our community, the broader field of psychiatry, and the development of future psychiatrists both nationally and internationally.</span></span></span></span></span></p> </div> </div> <div id="node-single-comment"> </div> </div> </div> </article> <!-- End
