Our Keynote speak is Professor Marion Bogo O.C., LL.D, MSW, RSW. Prof. Bogo has pioneered the use of simulation-based education in social work and is Professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto. She is the former Field Director, Dean, and first appointee to the first Endowed Chair in Social Work at the university. Her long-standing program of research focuses on social work field education, the conceptualization and assessment of professional competence, and more recently simulation-based education. She has published over 125 journal articles and book chapters and seven books and disseminated her research in invited presentations internationally. In 2013 she was awarded the Significant Lifetime Achievement in Social Work Education Award from the Council on Social Work Education in the United States in recognition of her contributions to social work education and to improving assessment of professional competence. She is the only non-American to receive this award. In 2014 she was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada for her achievements in the field of social work as a scholar and teacher and for advancing the practice in Canada and abroad. For her contributions to the development of social work education, in 2018 she received a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, from Memorial University of Newfoundland at their spring convocation.
