Congratulations to @Orly_Bogler from @UofT_DoM @GIMtoronto for winning 3rd place at the @CSIMSCMI Ted Giles competition for her outstanding case presentation, When the Barrier Breaks!
Enjoyed reading this. Awesome work and proof of concept for this model of care!

There’s a lot to be worried about right now. But today, on my birthday, while at @Sunnybrook, my co-residents made me feel pretty special.
Let’s keep supporting each other! @UofT_DoM @GIMtoronto – at Toronto, Ontario

Timely read. Been thinking about this a lot. Hadn't thought of the most obvious place for insight.
Lessons learned from SARS outbreak & resident wellbeing:
“The outbreak had a significant impact on the personal wellbeing of residents” due to social isolation, tension between duty to care & personal safety, compromises to education & training.

Told a story (thanks to @UofT_DoM) that meant a lot to me. With busy wards I found myself treading water, exploring only the surface of patients’ narratives, but one patient taught me the importance of at times diving deeper.

Going through my camera roll at the end of a block. Special shoutout to these two med students @uoftmedicine. The beginning of clerkship can be very overwhelming, but they made it look easy. Also, check those matching outfits!
Leave it to some Internal Medicine residents to start and end a morning run at the place we know best, a hospital @TPetropoulosMD @rudesie_ma @IanDownie8
This. And to make things worse, even in hospitals that do have more robust translation services, trainees/care providers are often a) not trained in the process of using them, and b) not encouraged to use them.

Good things happen to good people. Congrats @RicharLisa!
Congrats to my mentor and role model @RicharLisa for promotion to Associate Professor at @uoftmedicine! Thank you for all you do for Indigenous patients and students. I wouldn’t be where I am without you. #WomenInMedicine
#HigginsDay2019 culminated an amazing year of Internal Medicine training at @StMikesHospital. A positive culture with no signs of intimidation. The negative aspects of hidden curriculum are slowly dissipating, and you gotta love it. – at Mississauga, Ontario
We have to get better at teaching leadership in medical training. Presented a set of recommendations on how medical schools might do this. @uoftmedicine @ihpmeuoft @PhamTia @MedEdConference #CCME19 – at Niagara Falls, Ontario
Just outside a Level 1 trauma centre in Toronto, doctors and families of patients across the city gathered today to say that gun violence is absolutely a public health crisis. @najmadoc @Docs4GunControl
Heard 4 gunshots at 6:15am this morning and saw people scattering just south of Bay and Dundas (through my building window). Tough time for the city of Toronto. Kudos to all the first responders. xitter.gq/tpsoperations/status/9…
SOUND OF GUNSHOTS:
Bay St + Edward St
-Multiple gunshots heard
-People running in all directions
-No injuries so far

#DearFutureMD Stay humble & work against hierarchical thinking when working with colleagues, trainees, and other professions.
Great comments on the use of race as a risk factor without further explanation. Pervasive in #MedEd but massive opportunity for improvement! xitter.gq/ritikagoelto/status/85… – at Toronto, Ontario

Three simple but crucial principles that should guide medical education during clerkship. @uoftmedicine #CCME17 – at Winnipeg, Manitoba
Mental health care has huge gaps that need to be addressed. Meeting with Ontario MPPs to lobby for better care today. #ONPoli #OMSALobby2017
