If you are a clinical leader… when was the last time you sent a kudos for excellent care or outcomes???

I promise you if you’re only sharing opportunities for improvement & not wins… you are doing your team (& pts) a disservice

Wins are good for the soul & good for learning

Big 🙌🏻 to Colin Bell for the support in writing up this case! All residents need mentors like him.

Huge THANK YOU to Drs Jin, Lysa Lomax (she/her), Sallya Aleboyeh, and Beshara of Queen's Neurology for the excellent Stroke School teaching today. Your colleagues QueensEM greatly appreciate it!

Our QueensEM and KingstonHSC team is sad to be losing a great friend/colleague, clinician and teacher to join a lucky group in Alberta after his final shift with us today. We will miss you, Colin Bell and we wish you the best!

We are thrilled to welcome these amazing women into our Queen's Emergency Program!
Congratulations to Drs. Alexandra Aliferis, Leah Allen, Hayley Manlove and Nazde Edeer.

Using this Canadian Women Physicians Day to recognize all the women physicians QueensEM. A truly supportive group of residents & staff.

When putting together your rank list, one question to ask yourself, “would these people support me during a life crisis? Illness, death, divorce. Would they do whatever they can to help me?”

Kevin Dong MedCouncilCan LMCC2 is not a relevant anymore. The theory that you need an exam to ensure basic competence, when all of residency is now competency based make no sense. Either CBD and transition to discipline is adequate or not. MedCouncilCan The Royal College who determines competence?
