All roads do lead to Rome – apparently! Specialty Café Live, Panel 3, delves into the incredibly unique journeys taken by each of these guests as they became Royal College specialists, and then the paths they took throughout their careers. Rural, remote, urban, and academic practices are addressed in detail.

Anesthesiology, Dr. Marie-Andrée Girard, FRCPC

Psychiatry, Dr. Brian Hodges, FRCPC

General Surgery, Dr. Roy Kirkpatrick, FRCSC

Join host Christina Toma as she dives into the commonalities, contrasts, and such different environments of how and where (and why) these specialists practice. This conversation is full of honest reflection on social accountability, planetary health, generalism in medicine, and more. You'll hear exciting insight into the future of these specialties. On the topic of commonalities… it's obvious our guests have the utmost respect for each other. Very inspiring indeed!

Check out Panel 1 (Urology, Pediatrics, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) and Panel 2 (Obstetrics & Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine).

Look out for Specialty Café Season 5, coming soon!

Thank you to the Canadian Federation of Medical Students for their kind invitation to host this live Specialty Café episode at their Spring General Meeting in Quebec City on April 15, 2023.
