I believe that being a physician is one of the greatest honors society
can bestow on anyone.
Strategic Orientation - Having had the honor and privilege of
serving and leading several organizations provincially, nationally and
internationally, I now better understand how the medical profession
has to become more actively engaged and accountable to the
public. We all need to live up to the public’s high expectations of our
profession.
Judgment - The years that I have spent in the clinical and academic
trenches have firmed my resolve to look at all aspects of issues and
not be too quick to try and fix things. As an experienced emergency
physician I am comfortable dealing with the unexpected. As a
Hopkins trained preventive health physician I fully understand the
potential of meaningful engagement and frank discussions with all
audiences.
Communications - I am a natural storyteller and love
communicating with diverse audiences. I listen more than I speak
and I am a firm believer in only using words if absolutely necessary.
I have extensive experience with various audiences and am very at
ease with all messaging mediums.
Business and Financial Acumen - Conservative while still
entrepreneurial! A responsible fiscal steward always prepared to ask
the tough questions. Quality is still not on every physician’s agenda
and we need to change that.
Governance Knowledge - I love excellence in governance and have
been mentored over the years by some of the best. Governance is
the key to high performing organizations!
Teamwork / Collegiality - I am a huge believer in honest, highly
effective teamwork and the strength of collegiality. I am fairly easy
to get along with but I have no patience for any forms of bullying or
harassment.
My eclectic training, diverse life experiences and my eager
willingness to roll up my sleeves will serve me well in the role as
your councilor for Alberta on the CMPA. I look forward to your
support and in serving your needs. Please do not hesitate to email
me at [email protected] or call me at 780-932-7187 if
you have any questions.
