#FMWC was founded in 1924 to advocate for the rights of women physicians and patients.
Today, 100 years later, FMWC continues to be committed to the professional, social, and personal advancement of women physicians and the promotion of the well-being of women. #WomenInMedicine

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate sisters, friends, aunties, coworkers, and all the women who bring joy to our lives.
Let us remember and live the words of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris: While we may be the first to do many things, we must make sure we are not the last.
When we lift up women, we lift up children, families, communities, and all of society.

On behalf of @thenosm we are very pleased to see such positive support for students and reducing the burden of tuition, and efforts to enhance the support for family medicine training in the province. We eagerly await details of these announcements.
The Ontario government is breaking down barriers for Ontario students to become family doctors by expanding the Learn and Stay grant to include family medicine, and is also requiring medical schools to prioritize seats for Ontario residents.

@thenosm already admits over 95% of our students from Ontario with an emphasis on Northern Ontario. We will continue to strive for such indices that address the needs of all Ontarians. Thank you to the Ford government for your support of med ed !

A must-read book with a critical message on the need to improve and support seniors in our communities.
It's #NationalSeniorsDay so here's some shameless self-promotion by an almost-senior. Book still available:
