Congratulations to Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART) trainee James Taylor, who won a Lightning Talks competition prize at the 2022 UBC Anesthesiology Residency Program Research Day for his work on a facilitated peer discussion pilot program for improving anesthesia resident wellness! BC Children's Hospital Research Institute

A couple days away to disconnect and commemorate a close friend was the perfect end to holidays. Feeling recharged and ready to tackle 4th year!

I can’t recommend an ICU elective as a medical student enough. I have learned as much about open communication, patient advocacy, and empathy as I have expanded my medical knowledge. It has changed my perspective on medicine and how we best serve our patients for the better!

Finally managed to ✅ Mt Brunswick off the hiking bucket list!

What started out as a small Summer Student Research Project with Dr Zoë Brown has turned into so much more. Excited for the change our resident wellness research is already inspiring. Thank you to Nick Smith for doing an amazing job representing us at #CPAS2022! Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART)

Post-call day in October?! Warm enough for a bike AND swim. Attempting to suppress the stress of CaRMS opening today 🫣

There’s no one I admire more than my mom. She’s volunteered at the Penticton Regional Hospital gift shop for 15 years despite her full-time job. Today, we worked together in the same building for the first time 🤗

Chain Lakes Loop, Washington. Feeling ready for the last 4 weeks of pre-CaRMS electives!

Attempting to measure respiratory variations of transvalvular flow for a patient with a moderate sized pericardial effusion - so cool to assess tamponade physiology in real-time. Have learned an incredible amount on my UBCIMPOCUS elective - can't recommend it enough!

A day late, but genuinely so proud of Canada Soccer. We out played the World’s second ranked team on the biggest stage. It was also incredible to see a Canadian pub packed at 11AM on a Wednesday to support the lads. 🇨🇦

Highly recommend the World Corrupt podcast series, especially if you’re like me and struggling to reconcile your love for ⚽️ and the World Cup with the human rights issues surrounding the host nation. Education is an important first step! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/pod…

At a loss for words. What a privilege that was to watch. As someone who grew up admiring Messi, I am so happy he finally got the trophy that will cement his legacy as the greatest of all time. Watching him has brought me incredible joy over the years. #Messi𓃵

Looking after my friend’s dog, Nova, over the holidays might just be the best gift I have ever received. Happy Holidays everyone - hope you are all safe and warm with loved ones!

Very proud of the important conversation this research has started, as well as the positive change it has already led to. Thank you to my incredible co-authors, UBC Anesthesiology Residency Program residents for participating, and Pediatric Anesthesia for publishing our work! Link: doi.org/10.1111/pan.14…

An absolute dream come true to be joining the UBC Anesthesiology Residency Program family, especially with this amazing group of co-residents 🔥 Thank you to everyone who helped me on this journey - there are far too many of you. Couldn’t be more excited to be starting this next chapter. Congrats c2023!

Probably my proudest med school accomplishment: from 0-3 to Urban Rec Dodgeball Champions with this great crew!

Celebrated med school acceptance with a half, and today celebrated residency match with a full! Thank you to all the BMO marathon volunteers and supporters - I can’t tell you how much your energy carried me. Such a fun atmosphere out there!

Christmas in June?! 😍 A huge move for the continued expansion of the game in North America. I now know where part of my R1 salary will be going…

Guess who's who? Our residents enjoyed the snow in the mountains while attending the Whistler Anesthesiology Summit last weekend! 🏂⛷️ Photo credit: Ali Jatoi (R1) #UBCAnesthesia #AnesthesiaResidency #Anesthesia #UBC #WAS2024

Almost forgot about this account... This recently published case report in International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia describes how we managed lumbar epidural analgesia in a patient with a low thoracic type I extradural meningeal cyst. doi.org/10.1016/j.ijoa…
