Over the past weeks, a huge arsenal of medical students from @UofTMedicine@MacDeptMed have been working tirelessly to produce 3D-printed #PPE for healthcare workers. 1000s of face shields every week! Support us at https://t.co/xnBcoNQCGy #3DPPEGTHA#ConquerCOVID19#PPEShortage
I'm ecstatic to welcome these outstanding young surgeons to our Toronto Orthopaedic family! Looking forward to your achievements and successes in the years ahead. Congratulations on your success on #MatchDay! @uoftmedicine@UofTSurgery
Not a family doc - but listening to debate around 3rd year of training with interest. My reality as a specialist: 20% of my patients have no FP & aspects of their care are falling thru the cracks; I can't deliver the care an FP does; and most of my FP friends are burned out. 1/2
Had a blast organizing the inaugural Golden Scalpel Tournament hosted by @UofTSurgery with @anserdaud, @KhizarKarim, and Emily Snook.
Congrats to the Orthopedic Sx team on being this year's champions!
See you all next year 🏀

One of the most important aspects of academic orthopaedics is generating interest in our specialty. Great to see so many keen and interested medical students at our COSMEC skills day today. Hopefully we’ve opened some eyes!

We’re deeply concerned by CPC MPs @LeslynLewis@DeanAllisonMP @ColinCarrieCPC meeting with @AndersonAfDMdEP - a member of the far-right German AFD Party known for Islamophobic and anti-immigrant views. We raised this directly with @CPC_HQ.
During her 36 years as Mayor, Hazel shaped Mississauga into a city that is the envy of the world. As a trailblazing woman in politics and a no-nonsense city builder she was an inspiration to many, including myself. We will carry her legacy. She is forever a part of our history.
Excellence in Canadian healthcare is resident physicians (still completing their specialization) handling with poise a heavy volume of consultation requests at academic centres with some of the nation's most complex medical and surgical patients. Thank you. @ResidentDoctors
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
My latest, on the endless, immovable, and above all unnecessary crisis in health care. It’s not that we don’t know what to do — health policy wonks are broadly agreed on the sorts of reforms needed. We just don’t know how to get it done.
