ABOUT THE EK KORANYI REVIEW COURSE IN PSYCHIATRY
This is the newest update of the Course started 40 years ago by and named for Dr Erwin Koranyi. Dr. Koranyi began with the Department
of Psychiatry at the University of Ottawa in 1970 and was promoted to the rank of full professor in 1975. In 1978, he assumed the position
of Director of Education at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, a tertiary care psychiatric hospital in Ottawa, and started what was to become the
Review Course in Psychiatry. Initially, the course lasted one day and was taught entirely by Dr Koranyi covering topics from
psychodynamics to neuropsychiatry. Eventually, he recruited presenters and word-of-mouth opened up the course to residents from other
Universities. He officially retired in 1990, but continued his dedication to teaching in the Department of Psychiatry while on staff at The
Royal. He received the Award for Excellence from the Faculty of Medicine in 1991 and had the great honour of being named Professor
Emeritus in 1996 in recognition of his academic achievements. He was also granted honorary medical staff privileges at The Royal at a
special ceremony in 2010. Dr. Koranyi once stated, “People should not outlive ideas; it should be the other way around.” This statement
resounds in the legacy he has left here at the Department of Psychiatry, as there are very few psychiatrists who have contributed so
extensively to the education of medical students, residents in psychiatry and practicing psychiatrists who also so passionately
demonstrated their dedication to the enrichment of the field. Dr Koranyi passed away July 2012 and will be missed by the members of the
Department of Psychiatry of the University of Ottawa. The Course has continued to grow over the years and it has also become an update
for psychiatrists in practice and began awarding Royal College Maintenance of Certification accreditations in 2010.You can also read
