The Doctors of BC 2023 Report to Members summarizes the efforts of hundreds of BC doctors working on dozens of committees, the Board, and the Representative Assembly, as well as the dedicated team at Doctors of BC that supports them.
In 2018, the senior executive team of the Interior Health Authority (IHA) supported the Physician Quality Improvement (PQI) initiative, with the goal of increasing physician involvement in quality improvement activities. Supported through a collaboration between the Specialist Services Committee and the IHA, the PQI initiative operationalized a dyadic leadership model wherein participants are provided with quality improvement education, training opportunities, and expertise from coaches and consultants.
What profession might you have pursued, if not medicine?
Veterinary medicine was my first dream job, which only changed when I saw a baby born when I was 14.
Which talent would you most like to have?
A knack for carpentry and home maintenance. My father was a jack-of-all-trades, and I left home too young to learn many of those skills from him.
