"The goal of a CME AWAY® conference by Sea Courses is to provide the very best opportunity for health care professionals to not only LEARN but to CONNECT with peers in a stimulating yet RELAXING environment."
Dr. Harry Karlinsky obtained his degree in Psychiatry from the University of Toronto and his Masters in Neuroscience degree from the University of London, England. He is currently a Clinical Professor within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia. For over three decades, Dr. Karlinsky has been a longstanding and prodigious contributor to the field of continuing medical education (CME) and professional development. His initiatives have consistently reflected the innovative integration of the humanities into CME activities, such as his role as the founding and ongoing director of the award-winning ’Frames of Mind’ Mental Health Film Series. As an alumnus of Simon Fraser University’s Writers’ Studio, Dr. Karlinsky has also made original contributions to Canadian literature. His first novel, The Evolution of Inanimate Objects, was longlisted for the Wellcome Trust Book Prize which celebrates books which illuminate the theme of health, illness and medicine. His second novel, The Stonehenge Letters, was selected by Quill and Quire as one of the best books of 2014. Dr. Karlinsky’s honours include Baycrest Hospital’s Munk Geriatric Award; the CPA/COPCE Award for outstanding Continuing Medical Education Activity within Canada; the Lil Hewton Bursary Award to conduct archival research related to the history of psychiatry; the inaugural UBC Faculty of Medicine Innovation in CME award; the 2023 Association of Chairs of Psychiatry in Canada Annual Award for Creative Professional Activity; and the 2024 Canadian Psychiatric Association’s Paul Patterson Innovation in Education Leadership Award.
