Thanks @DrJenWilliams! I love that the audience identified authentic — and authenticity in — assessment as a top priority, which intersects well with the 4 themes of building trust, contextualizing assessments, data sharing and using technology thoughtfully. #Ottawa2024

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

We need to look beyond gender inequity among physicians themselves to focus on an important consequence of the male-gendered construct of physicianhood: its failure to deliver for patients the highest standards of care and caring. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
There are no words to describe this tragedy. This senseless war must stop. #IStandWithUkriane
AP images of a pregnant woman being rushed to an ambulance after Russia bombed a maternity hospital in Mariupol where she was meant to give birth shocked the world.
@AP has learned that the woman and her baby have died.

NEW: The average estimated cost of a #COVID19 hospital stay in Canada is just over $23,000 — about 4 times the average cost of a stay for influenza. More data: ow.ly/MfRV50G2y2N
Exciting news that @MedCouncilCan will no longer require #MCCQEII for full licentiate of the MCC. Hoping this means a greater emphasis on #CBME during residency training to ensure new doctors are well prepared to deliver safe high quality care to their patients.

Healthcare workers should receive the second dose of vaccine within 21 to 28 days. @shandro @jkenney @CMOH_Alberta should exempt healthcare workers from provincial strategy.

Are you a physician or studying to become one? Your voice is important! We'd love to learn more about your experiences trying to build a family. The survey can be found here: bit.ly/AMWASPACE #NIAW #NationalInfertilityAwarenessWeek #SPACE
Thank you @AshleyToll97. I saw your tweet and signed my dad up last night who is an essential worker with comorbidities in Ontario, but didn’t yet qualify for the vaccine. He got the call this morning and is getting his 1st dose in 2 hours. I’m so relieved!
Last week I used this link: rexall.medmeapp.com/schedule to get on vaccine waitlists. They prioritize age and health conditions, since I’m 24 with no conditions there must not be many people on the lists as I waited only a week. Share the link! Help stop vaccines going to waste!
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada is now recommending all pregnant women to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The SOGC has released a statement regarding the alarming situation with pregnant woman with COVID-19 in ICU in Ontario. Read the statement here: pregnancyinfo.ca/wp-content/…
