My Experience & Training

I can relate to many physician phenotypes given my experience and training in each domain:

Professional Coach focusing on physicians and health care leaders
Clinician with experience in Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Respirology (aka Pulmonology)
Educator with RCPSC formal training, and recognized by peers and trainees with teaching awards
Researcher with numerous publications and several RCTs as a co-investigator
Administrator with experience as a Residency Program Director, Academic Division Director, and Clinical Chief of Medicine
I feel like I can be a sherpa to many physician phenotypes given my clinical experience, administrative experience and teaching experience
Most importantly, I’m dedicated to this role and I hope my training reflects it
