Au cours des 30 dernières années, j’ai rédigé de nombreuses chroniques sur une variété de sujets. Les gens m’ont témoigné en grand nombre leur appui de différentes façons. Ils ont exprimé leur désir de me voir continuer de commenter les évènements.
The Department of Family Medicine (Halifax Site), Dalhousie University and NSHA, invites applications for a full-time academic family physician. Candidates will be appointed as Dalhousie Faculty and active staff with the Central Zone Department of Family Practice, Nova Scotia Health and potentially the IWK. This position involves provision of ambulatory, team-based, and comprehensive academic family medicine care including clinical supervision of medical learners.
鶹AV Professor Dr. Delphine Collin-Vézina, as a member of the RISE (Researching the Impact of Service provider Education) research team, is inviting you to participate in a national, Public Health Agency of Canada-funded study aiming to improve care in situations of family violence. Participation will involve a 45-minute interview with a member of the research team about training needs and preferences related to addressing family violence in practice and will take place over Zoom or Webex (no video/audio only).
The third edition of the Indigenous Welcoming Ceremony, held on October 27, honoured seven Indigenous academic staff from a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, linguistics, anthropology and medicine. The two-hour-plus virtual ceremony welcomed six new academic hires, as well as a relatively recent hire who was not able to attend previous ceremonies.
The six new 鶹AVians are:
Yann Allard-Tremblay, Assistant Professor, Political Science
Dr. Andréanne Lefort completed her medical studies at 鶹AV and joined 鶹AV's Department of Family Medicine in 2011 when she began her residency in Family Medicine at the GMF-U de la Vallée-de-l'Or. "During my rural family medicine clerkship with 鶹AV, I had the chance to discover Val-d'Or, a wonderful setting for training," Dr. Lefort shares. Charmed by Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Dr. Lefort settled there as a family doctor.
On September 22, 2020, members of 鶹AV’s Department of Family Medicine were invited to a virtual kitchen table conversation, hosted by Richard Budgell, Associate Professor of Inuit and Northern Health Promotion and Alex McComber, Assistant Professor and responsible for the Indigenous Health Promotion Program in the Department of Family Medicine, about the design and purpose of an Indigenous space in the Department.
JOIN US on December 2, 2020 as a workshop presenter and/or career panelist at our 16th Annual Discovery Day in Health Sciences event - for the first time VIRTUALLY. This is a partnership of the 鶹AV Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, The Neuro and the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame (CMHF).

COVID-19 Stories Contest
Deadline for submissions: October 15, 2020
The COVID-19 Stories Contest encourages Family Medicine Department members to share their stories, thoughts and experiences on living through the COVID-19 pandemic. Story telling is a powerful tool in healing. People yearn for stories, particularly stories of influence, hope, and community building. We can learn from and through authentic experiences, both of grief and joy. COVID-19 has shown us the interconnectivity of communities worldwide.
The Department of Family Medicine wants to promote graduate students’ voices on our website. We are proud of our students and believe that they should be showcased. You have all earned a place on our website, as we will be creating public “student profiles.”
In that spirit, we have created a video contest with awards to win!
The videos selected will be uploaded to the website to highlight your experience as students in our department.
