Proud of our study at @UHN @UofTFamilyMed in the @BioMedCentral on the influence of connecting medical students with isolated seniors!
shout out to Noah Crampton, Laure Perrier, Sabrina Akhtar and Soumia not on twitter.

Great take on the inter-connectivity of the system. What happens in the emerg does not stay in the emerg…
R/T @CBCQueensPark: “It's pretty difficult, challenging times…The…sickness level of our patients is far higher than it has ever been…our hospital is running well over 100 per cent capacity pretty much every day." cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/h… @arcandandrew @LisaEsther6 @ErinBearss
Noticing an increasing number of unfilled family medicine positions in the #CARMS2022 match.
For anyone that has not matched in the first round and is considering #FamilyMedicine please do not hesitate to direct message me here on Twitter and I am happy to chat.
Best of luck to everyone in the #CARMS2022 match!
Two things:
1. Your identity is more diverse and robust than where you match.
2. Residency is > med school and staff life is > residency.
Lots to look forward to!
It’s a good time to remind myself and others that the vast, vast majority of Canadians support healthcare workers wholeheartedly.
We deal with blood, guts, resuscitation, end of life, babies, elderly, having difficult conversations, saving lives on little to no sleep sometimes. You can’t intimidate us, we are built of stronger stuff.
Shout out to all of the medical students applying to #CARMS2022 today.
The match result does not define you and every residency program has pros and cons.
Enjoy the ride because the days are long but the years are short! @CaRMS_CA
someone needs to give @ASPphysician a nobel prize or the Canadian equivalent. The weekly emails are incredibly informative and balanced. The stamina to keep going is inspiring. If you don't subscribe you should:

My take on breaks/vacations.. you either:
A) schedule them, look forward to them and truly enjoy them. Or,
B) don’t schedule, become overtired, burnt out and ‘need’ a vacation to recover, which is less enjoyable.
Either way - everyone needs a break.
He has had such a tremendous and lasting impact on so many Queens medicine graduates. No one is more deserving of this recognition! Congrats!
The personification of Distinguished Service: Congrats @Sanfilippo333, Associate Dean for the MD program @QueensUHealth. You inspire me with your unwavering dedication to students & your commitment to ensuring a world-class learning experience for them. healthsci.queensu.ca/stories…
Sooooooo grateful to have passed my final licensing exam ever @FamPhysCan @UofTFamilyMed @uoftmedicine
9 days before independent, staff-life. Heard the transition is tough, but am ready for the challenge. Can’t wait!
It only took 26 blocks and 24 months of residency, but I’m finally enjoying obstetrics.
Totally get why people deliver babies.
Incredibly honoured to be awarded the Hollister King award at our graduation ceremony @UofTFamilyMed @uoftmedicine!
It’s been a challenging, but rewarding and resilience-building residency.
It truly takes a village….
Excited to enter the next stage!
#Residency training is the perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
PGY1 you climb in confidence, but lack competence.
PGY 2+ you enter the "valley of despair" when you start realizing what you don't know.
Staff and beyond is when I imagine you slowly build comfort.
