Yesterday was #MatchDay, when graduating med students are selected into a residency program Sadly, more than 250 family medicine residency spots went unfilled nationally. 😭😭😭 This does not bode well in a time when >6.5 million people already don't have a family doc or NP.

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...🧵

Beautiful day at Queen's University. Had the pleasure of hosting Ryan Meili (has left) for a sit-down chat about his new book “A Healthy Future: Lessons learned on the frontlines of a crisis”. Lively discussion about links b/w medicine & politics. We need thoughtful ppl like Ryan influencing policy.

It's National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. I continue to learn & seek to understand. One of the most insightful books I've read is "Up Ghost River" by Edmund Metatawabin pictured here, survivor of St. Anne's Residential School. See sample from this extraordinary book. #NDTR 🧡

To the students we ran into this afternoon: It was so good to see you all… but I hope you went right back to class!

Well done Adrian Dix and David Eby on bringing an easier more effective way to screen for cervical cancer to our health system. BC will be a leader not only in Canada but the world when it comes to early detection of cervical cancer. Seriously. Well done.

Let’s talk about some real threats facing kids today. Predators using social media apps to reach young people, manipulate, abuse and even sexually extort them for money. That’s what happened to Carson a few months ago. Sadly, he’s no longer with us today. (1/2)

🇨🇦🧵Tweet Thread: “The World Needs to Go Full Carney” Mark Carney is the revelation no one saw coming—and exactly what Canada (and the free world) needs right now. He’s not just changing the game. He is the game. 🇨🇦 1/

I am horrified by the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, a senseless and shocking act of violence that has killed and injured innocent civilians and tourists. Canada strongly condemns this terrorist attack. We offer our condolences to the victims and their families.
