Specialty Café

Are you a medical student or resident choosing your path in healthcare? Grab a coffee and settle in… this café is for you! Our hosts (med students & residents) chat with Royal College specialists and residents about their day to day lives, the reasons behind their specialty choices, the joys, the challenges, and more!  Although conversations are full of specialty insights, you’ll gain invaluable life advice about being a fulfilled and excellent clinician (and human being).  Feedspot has voted Specialty Café as one of the 10 Best Canadian Medical Podcasts.  The Royal College produces a uniquely French version of this podcast - Café des spécialités: https://cafedesspecialites.libsyn.com/.

Do you like children? 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.
 
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 becoming a specialist, remember to not let medicine be the only thing that defines you! Pediatricians are well-rounded doctors from diverse backgrounds and interests. Keep being you!
