Thank you to everyone that attended, asked questions and engaged in our #CCR24 presentation. It was exciting to unveil the results and show how early cycling in the ICU can give patients a head start on their road to recovery. #ICURehab @CCCTG_ @ResearchStJoes @SRSMcMasterU

Meet Yasmeen Mezil, assistant professor @McMasterPMM. Mezil could have pursued a career that would have had her holding a sketchpad, not a scalpel. Now she uses her passion for drawing to inspire medical students to learn in new ways. ow.ly/LeUg50SfL0l
