MSD Risk in Sonography: Do Patient Size, Scan Time, and Scan Location Matter? (12 Nov 2026)

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 17:00:00 GMT

CRE-MSD is an ACE Knowledge Transfer Partner

This CRE-MSD webinar will share findings from a study that used digital human modelling to examine how patient size, scan location and scan time affect the physical demands placed on sonographers. The study looked at a range of patient sizes and common scan locations, including the breast, kidney, shoulder and leg. Results showed that scan location and scan duration had the greatest impact on physical demands, while patient size had comparatively little influence.

Human Factors and Ergonomics in Canadian Engineering Education: A National Study of Gaps and Opportunities (2 Dec 2026)

Wed, 02 Dec 2026 17:00:00 GMT

CRE-MSD is an ACE Knowledge Transfer Partner

This CRE-MSD webinar presents findings from a CRE-MSD-funded study examining the inclusion of HF/E content across all accredited undergraduate engineering programs in Canada. Researchers analyzed descriptions from 12,442 engineering courses and assessed the extent to which HF/E concepts were represented. Results revealed that only 1.6% of engineering courses contained HF/E-related content, and fewer than one-third of engineering graduates receive explicit exposure to HF/E concepts during their education. Significant gaps were identified across several major engineering disciplines, including Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering..

Better Work-Better Care Webinar (8 Dec 2026)

Influence of Psychological Health & Safety for Workforce Retention in Long-Term Care Homes

Free / Gratuit
Registration / Inscription : https://forms.gle/ykVizDDGTZffnLJQA

Workforce retention in long-term care (LTC) is critical to meet the needs of adults requiring around the clock nursing and personal care supports and services. This presentation will share insights and findings from a scoping review and mixed-methods research study that examined psychological health and safety and workforce retention in LTC. Findings supported a better understanding of the multi-level influences on psychological health and safety, including 45 priorities identified by a panel of LTC leaders, a conceptual model of implementation barriers and facilitators, and tools to support LTC leaders in their daily work and practice.
