Chris Hicks, MD
Chris is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. He has innovated in several areas of resuscitation and psychological skills, including mental practice, stress inoculation training. These days he enjoys a quieter life, free from the problematic corporate jib-jab of academic deliverables. In 2018, as a partial rebuke of the status quo, Chris co-created and chaired resusTO, an inter-professional simulation-based resuscitation conference in Toronto with international acclaim. In 2020, he co-founded Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, consulting with hospitals and industry using simulation to inform the design of systems, spaces and teams. Chris is an avid speaker and lecturer, staunch #FOAMed supporter, occasional runner and cyclist, fledgling boxer, semi-retired pianist, and proud father of three lunatic boys.
