McMaster IM Residency Program

We celebrated our amazing PGY3s last night as they graduate and move onto their subspecialty training and careers. A huge thank you to @LessMartsMD @DrLoriWhitehead for their leadership during the past 3 years! #theinternistsarehere

Congratulations to PGY2 @tinazhou2020 for this accomplishment! Our residents inspire us everyday to do better for our patients - McMaster is an amazing place for trainees to reach their full research potential.

@MacKenzieTurpin - Finally found you on Twitter!!

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2022 McMaster PGME Awards!! Special shout out to @IMWendyYe and Dr. MacKenzie Turpin for their Resident Leadership Awards, and @JoannaDionne for her Faculty Wellness Champion award.

Thank you so much to @SeyMD, Dr. Matthew Miller and the rest of the incredible @MacDeptMed Nephrology staff for the Division of Nephrology Award for Scholarly Activity and Patient-Centred Care.

Super honoured to be recognized by McMaster Nephrology, a group of passionate and humorous physicians I loved working with everyday. Shout out to @IMWendyYe for her award win as well! @McMasterIntMed

I am grateful and delighted to receive a @McMasterPGME Resident Leader Award alongside my amazing co-resident @MacKenzieTurpin! A huge thank you to @LessMartsMD, @sama_anvari, and Dr. Andrew Cheung for the nomination and ongoing support ♥️

The #internists will see you now…. 🤓#graduation2022 #womenofMed #girlpower @McMasterPGME @McMasterIntMed

It’s hard to believe three years have gone by so quickly. It definitely takes a village, and I could not have asked for a better cohort or more supportive program to get me through residency. @McMasterIntMed

Kudos to everyone who worked so hard to make this come to fruition!

Hey Siri, play “Years In the Making” by @arkellsmusic

The replies, quote tweets and RTs speak volumes to who @AlimPardhan is as a person, colleague, PD and physician! We love working side-by-side with you! @McMasterPGME

Thank you to the @McMasterIntMed residents for this award! I feel honoured to play a role in your ICU & PoCUS education. This is one of the best awards I have ever received. Keep being curious and asking q's, & I promise, I'll always be there to work on the answers with you.

Thank you to all the attending physicians who are there when we call at night about sick patients, walk us through our first family meeting, help us put in our first central lines, and are there when our first patient passes away.

The 2022 ER Mentorship Award goes to Dr. Jillian Roberge. The 2022 Community Teaching Award goes to Dr. Thomas Haffner.

Behind every fantastic resident is a staff physician who encourages, mentors, and support them in their growth. Up next are the winners of our attending physician awards.

And the winner of the 2022 Dr. Akbar Panju Professionalism Award is Dr. Kelsey MacEachern.

The winners of the 2022 Dr. Hui Lee PGY2 Award are Dr. Brian Lauzon, Dr. Laura Spatafora, and Dr. Zainab Al-Maqrashi (we got to get these folks on Twitter!!)

Changing gears to our program related awards. As @LessMartsMD said: Our residents are the heart of our program. They are incredible clinicians, teachers, researchers, and overall amazing human beings.
