Student Mistreatment from UBC MedIT on Vimeo.
“Mistreatment is behaviour, whether it’s intentional or unintentional, that insults or negatively impacts the dignity of someone’s respect and then that interferes with learning.”

Be Fearless!
Advice to your 30-year-old self?
I would say to have no fear. I mean, you’ve got this one chance here to do amazing things, and being afraid of being wrong or making a mistake or fumbling is just not how you do something of impact. You just have to be fearless.
Dr. Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD Professor of Neurology, Physiology, and Psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco in Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss.
Sending love to all our UBC Residents who are taking their exams this weekend! You got this!

Gall’s Law
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.

AHD Guest Speaker Series: Expanding Patient Partnerships: Better Experiences For All
Join Carolyn to explore “relationship-based care” for better patient experiences and outcomes, and to provide a more rewarding professional life. Understanding your patient’s care goals, expectations, fears, values and social landscape can build greater patient self-efficacy and initiative, and also daily opportunities to see how you are making a difference in lives. She will draw on her own experiences in uncovering new dimensions to patient harm, strategies for greater patient safety and developing systems resilience from an ecosystem perspective of care. Co-design and co-delivery with patients and family members as your improvement partners offers refreshing innovation and collaboration as a regular part of the workday. We’ll describe small practices that can deliver big rewards for everyone.
