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/.

Thanks for tuning into Panel 2 of Specialty Café Live. The theme of this episode is... flexibility! Host Christina Toma delves into the truly rural, community, urban, and academic aspects of:

·       Obstetrics & Gynecology with Dr. Renée Soucy, FRCSC

·       Internal Medicine with Dr. Umberin Najeeb, FRCPC

·       Family Medicine with Dr. Andrew Thomas, CCFP

Whether you are someone who likes (and needs) to have a huge scope of practice; or if you thrive on being with and learning with learners; or love the idea of many career options (being a coroner or working in a jail, for example) – then this episode is for you. Oh, and if you crave flexibility in your career, you'll want to tune in!
