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/.

Specialty Café Live: Panel 1 - Urology, Pediatrics, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

May 9, 2023

Join Christina Toma as she explores the joys and challenges of three very different specialties and three very different specialists too!

Urology, Dr. Mazen Jundi, FRCSC

Pediatrics, Dr. Ryan Giroux, FRCPC

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Dr. Alice Kam, FRCPC 

Do you like expensive toys and lasers… and hammering things too? Or do you prefer to sit on the floor, be goofy and collaborate closely with parents? Or does the idea of a great work/life balance, with amazing opportunities to work alongside many different specialties seem more up your alley?

Tune-in for a frank discussion, laughter, and insight into what it’s really like in the day in the life of a specialist. Who knows – you might be surprised and consider a specialty you never thought of before!

  • May 16, 2023 – Panel 2: Obstetrics & Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine
  • May 23, 2023 – Panel 3: Psychiatry, General Surgery, Anesthesiology
