Pediatrics

Oct 7, 2022

Do you like children… actually, do you genuinely care for children in more than an academic way? Would you consider care givers as key players in your team? Does the idea of working in a rural and remote practice in Canada’s Arctic (Nunavut!) appeal to you? Or how about doing a Pediatrics residency in beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador?
 
Settle into this episode as host Andrew Pauls explores not only Pediatrics – but so much more (like the humanity of medicine). Guests Amber Miners MD, FRCPC and Alanna Roberts, MD, open up about their journeys (one is not so traditional) to becoming a Pediatrician. When you are in an environment you belong to, it clicks. You feel like you are home.
 
Pediatrics exposes doctors to a huge breadth of presentations of illnesses from birth to 18 years old. No day is ever the same. A Pediatric practice is what YOU make it! It can range from out-patient, in-patient, call, home visits, phone consults, community visits, and more.
 
Tune-in to learn about what residency programs look for in a candidate (one tip… be genuine). But while you are on this journey to become a specialist, remember not to let medicine be the only thing that defines you! Pediatricians are well-rounded doctors from diverse backgrounds and interests. Keep being you!
