MDO’s Speaker Night Presents

​

Dr. Jess Fiedorowicz, the Head and Chief of the Department of Mental Health at the Ottawa Hospital who was instrumental in spearheading MDO’s new use of space at the Civic Campus will be presenting his latest findings from the Ottawa Sunglasses at Night (OSAN) Study which investigated the use of blue-blocking sunglasses in mania. 

Dr. Fiedorowicz is also a Professor and Senior Research Chair in Adult Psychiatry.  He believes that research is only as valuable as the impact it might have on people’s lives.  Through medical school and beyond, Dr. Fiedorowicz observed patients with mental disorders not receiving the same attention and quality of care as their counterparts on general medical services.  Thus, this realization grew his passion and interest for a career in psychiatry.  He is a trailblazer in his field and we are so fortunate to have him advocate for patients in our community through his work and take the time to speak to us about it.

Please join us to show our appreciation for his investment in helping to grow MDO, learn about how you may become involved in the transformational care happening right here in the Ottawa Hospital and hear about the latest research discoveries in mental health.
