@PeterJohns84 @hrosenberg33 Same request, but maybe through Zoom or FaceTime to the west coast?

[Michael Chaikof, MD @MichaelChaikof]

The meeting of the fellows of @Royal_College today was extremely disappointing.

I could rant for pages and pages about all the reasons why, but I want to focus on one particular idea that @smoffattbruce1 kept refrencing:

equity.

Nothing about this meeting was equitable:

Life of a PGY5 in 2020 “Your @Royal_College exam is cancelled. JK it’s still on. JK it actually is cancelled.”... 6 week waiting period. “We won’t tell u your exam date in Sept until mid August. JK! Our bad, we meant in June”

[Leo Carroll @leorcarroll]

@Royal_College Many of us have already been required to submit schedule requests for August. September requests will be required soon. 6 wks to offload shifts onto our over worked (+/- new) ED colleagues during a pandemic is unacceptable. @Royal_College, please commit to more than 6 wks notice.

There are 11,283 identified cases of #COVID19 in Canada as of this evening & at least 138 deaths. And based on hospitalization/ICU admissions reported by provinces this week, there doesn’t appear to be much reason to be optimistic about our curve-flattening yet. In fact...

Now up to 2324 signers, not counting support from exam candidates, other residents, retired docs, and family physicians.

@Royal_College, your membership wants a pathway to spring certification for our new colleagues.

Sound on a MUST for the adorable baby giggles 👶

When everywhere is sold out of free weights and med balls but you still gotta get that workout in. #isolationstaycation

[Ashley Lauren @ALubeyMD]

Thanks for this grand advice @cpso_ca some of us have already taken jobs and planned for our futures starting July 1...

[Blair Bigham 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 @BlairBigham]

This is chaos. The @Royal_College fails to do their job, dumps their problem at the doorstep of @cpso_ca and now 2000 specialists are told NOT to work during a pandemic? We need to instantly certify and license @ResidentDoctors. @picardonhealth @theresaboyle @tomblackwellNP

As Colleges fail in their duty to certify, physicians revolt. What's next for Canada's graduating doctors amid an unprecedented epidemic? @picardonhealth @theresaboyle @tomblackwellNP @kellygrant1 @carlyweeks @CTV_AvisFavaro @cbcmark @VikCBC https://t.co/Ou6lObStgh

@ellkaydee @BlairBigham @picardonhealth @theresaboyle @tomblackwellNP @kellygrant1 @carlyweeks @CTV_AvisFavaro @cbcmark @VikCBC In Ontario, major delays in processing these licenses—strict deadlines; few registration committee meetings; unwilling to process application until every day of residency rotations completed—results in ~3mo turnaround before clinical practice is possible—this is not the solution

[The Royal College @Royal_College]

With the declaration of #COVID-19 pandemic & the rapidly evolving situation in Canada, the Royal College has postponed all exams, including the written exams for March and April, which will have an impact on oral exams this spring. #MedED

@rajivthava @hypoxicchicken @sonialf @ER_Beamer @RobSuttie @HarrisonC19 @ParxEM Agree with the spaced reps...for real was discussing snake morphology and distinguishing anatomic features with my kids last week—my parenting skills have changed

[Leo Carroll @leorcarroll]

@rajivthava @kirstenmorry Love it. That’s exactly how I imagined it would sound
