Grateful for the opportunity to join CDA volunteer dermatologists on Parliament Hill for productive discussions with Members of Parliament about improving access to dermatologic care across Canada. Thoughtful conversations and meaningful advocacy on behalf of patients 1/2

Equally inspiring was seeing the CDA & Melanoma Canada provide free skin checks on Parliament Hill. Line formed before clinic opened. For many Canadians, it was their 1st opportunity to have concerning lesions assessed after months or years of waiting. Access to care matters 2/2

Life advice nobody told you: Build momentum early in the day. One small win in the morning creates energy that compounds throughout the day. 10 minutes of reading. A quick workout. A finished task. Great days are built on tiny wins that ripple. Small things become big things.

I heard an interview today about AI in creative spaces and the man being interviewed said “AI is data, and Data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I need to sit with that in the best possible way.

Proud of the advocacy work the Canadian Dermatology Association is doing to improve access to dermatologic care for Canadians. I’ll be on Parliament Hill later this month to meet with MPs to discuss policy measures to mitigate the shortage. Read more👇

Like everyone else, I cannot get enough of the astronauts on Artemis ll. Their humility, poetic depth and compassion are what we all need right now.

While this video highlights the US residency match (Canada has already had ours), it’s still powerful to watch. After working with physicians for my entire career one thing is clear- their passion & dedication to their craft. It’s truly not just a career but a calling ❤️🩺

Loved that the program chair of this conference had years of experience as an attendee which led to intentional program redesign. Her experience led her to understand (what we knew): that in-person events need to offer a unique draw you can’t get online

Your identity is rented, not owned.
Nothing is permanent in this world. You don’t deserve it today because you had it yesterday. You have to do the thing. Chop wood, carry water. Show up and do the work. Rent is due every single day.
I can’t call myself a writer if I don’t write. I can’t call myself a leader if I don’t lead. I can’t call myself a builder if I don’t build.
Author Derek Sivers has a great line:
“Keep earning your title, or it expires…Holding on to an old title gives you satisfaction without action. But success comes from doing, not declaring.”
Who you were yesterday is not guaranteed. You have to earn it.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
