@CFPC_e Who will be funding this third year? Have provincial (or other) governments agreed to financing this model?

[Heidi James, MD @HeidiKJ]

@CarlaDRoberts Let me know if you need an FM hand with this. #gamechanger

[Sarah Gower MD @GowerMD]

Not going to lie, kind of wishing Taylor Swift was dating a Canadian family doctor

[Anthony Fong MD👨‍⚕️🇨🇦 @fongafriend]

I predict that extending family doctors' residencies by one year will further drive students away from our specialty.

Want family docs to be better? Train them together, 2yrs, in a team environment in rural Canada with seasoned mentors who do it all.

@speakergeek @InfoPEI What? The tunnel under The Witches Cave? I'm moving back just for that!

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

I constantly remind myself as a doctor — as an oncologist especially?! — that the current patient has no idea what’s going on with the last patient or the next patient, NOR SHOULD THEY

Every encounter I have to recalibrate my demeanor to “meet triumph and disaster just the same”

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

I had a medical student shadow me all day in oncology clinic and, when I asked them at the end what surprised them the most, they paused to reflect & then said “the hope”

Are we being SMART?

Recent changes in international asthma guidelines may be influenced by pharmaceutical industry conflicts of interest

I wrote an editorial in @AFPJournal and discussed on @AFPpodcast

268 unfilled residency positions in family medicine in the CaRMS match yesterday. Highest number ever.

We have a serious problem to manage together. Why are med students not choosing a career as a family doc (best specialty ever😀)?

Many reasons - some of it is on us...🧵

ECG interpretation is perfectly placed for full AI automation; very soon AI will beat even the most skilled cardiologists and will be automatic/required in the ER. Looking forward to it! #ai #medicine #medtech #ecg

[Pippa MacKay @PippaMacKay1]

That’s a wrap. My 36 years as a GP are done. It’s been such a privilege.

[Heidi James, MD @HeidiKJ]

@PippaMacKay1 Wonderful! Congratulations and may what comes next be equally rewarding.

And you thought trimming your toe nails was a good indicator of independence…
