Welcome to the Department of Medicine
Equitably advancing health and wellness by cultivating a community of diverse physicians who lead through care delivery, discovery, innovation, education, and knowledge implementation.
Message from the Department Head | Dr. Jayna Holroyd-Leduc
As we enter into summer and a new academic year, I want to take this opportunity to once again thank everyone for all your many and varied contributions to the Department and to the provision of health care for Albertans.
I want to welcome all the new faculty members and residents to the department. We are pleased you have decided to join our team, and I look forward to meeting and working with you in the coming months. We will be having a DOM New Faculty orientation on September 24 at the zoo. It will provide information specific to the department, and is an opportunity to meet departmental faculty and leaders. We encourage anyone recruited since 2022, who has not attended a previous DOM orientation, to attend. Additionally, the departmental website has a number of resources you may find helpful.
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the DOM & IMRP Annual Celebration dinner on Saturday, November 16 at the Palliser Hotel. We will be sending out a request for DOM annual award nominations in the coming days, so please consider nominating a colleague(s) deserving of recognition for their contributions.
I encourage you to review the summer newsletter for some departmental highlights and important announcements. Please remember to take some time to enjoy the summer while it lasts.
Message from the Department Manager | Allison Mirotchnik
2024 has been flying by at record speed and it’s hard to believe we’ve already passed the midpoint of another busy and productive year! I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the unwavering dedication and exceptional hard work demonstrated by each member of our department. The past months have been filled with challenges, long hours, and uncertainty. Your dedication and commitment have not gone unnoticed.
Our collective achievements are a testament to the skill, perseverance, and teamwork that define our department. Whether in patient care, research, teaching, or administrative support, each of you has contributed significantly to our shared mission of advancing medical knowledge and improving patient outcomes. It is because of your tireless efforts that we continue to make meaningful strides forward despite the ever-changing healthcare landscape in the province.
As we enter the summer months, I hope that each of you can find time to rest and recharge. Taking a well-deserved vacation not only provides a break from the daily grind but also allows us to spend precious moments with our families and loved ones. Whether you are planning a trip or enjoying a staycation, I encourage you to take full advantage of this time to relax and rejuvenate.
Wishing you all a wonderful and restful summer.
