Dr. Tobias Everett joined the Staff at SickKids in 2012. He is a British-trained pediatric anesthesiologist and fellow by examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (UK), has subspecialty certification in regional anesthesia from the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia, and is fellowship trained in pediatric anesthesia by SickKids, Toronto.

He holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the University of London, UK. He is a strong advocate of regional anesthesia and is leading several scholarly projects regarding pediatric sedation and regional anesthesia.

Everett has worked with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as faculty and director of their National Simulation Education and Training program, and on the Canadian National Anesthesia Simulation Curriculum. Everett has received international awards for his work in simulation-based medical education and multiple awards for his various teaching activities within anesthesia and beyond.

Research

Everett’s academic interests include pediatric sedation, pediatric regional anesthesia and medical education research, with a specific interest in interprofessional team debriefing and simulation-based assessments.

He is the principal investigator in international multicentre education research studies and has received grant funding from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Medical Council of Canada and the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society.
