Description:

This session will explore the complexities of working in low-resource settings, particularly in remote northern communities. We will discuss challenges such as triaging costly medical flights and utilizing telemedicine for cases which require ACLS, ATLS, and PALS. We will compare case management between resource-limited and resource-abundant environments, and learn about unique infectious diseases of the North. Special focus will be given to the ED Peer Programs, which address specific barriers in low-resource settings. 

Objectives:

• Outline and discuss challenges in low-resource communities.
• Discuss Lessons learned from working in low-resource settings.
• Review and compare the management of cases in low-resource settings vs resource-abundant environments.
• Discuss the ED Peer Programs in several provinces that aim to overcome certain challenges in low-resource settings.

Dr. Khatib also works in remote Northern communities in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Before her career in medicine, she was a financial analyst for Pratt & Whitney Canada and has a background in Finance and an MBA. She hopes to share with you her love for working in low-resource settings and pique your interest in working rurally.

Program Description

The SRPC mentorship program is a pilot program that started in 2021 and aims to connect medical students to rural physicians and residents from across the country to allow career exploration, guidance and increased understanding of the scope of rural practice.  We have over 65 mentors ready to help support your rural path.

Goals:

• Connecting students to rural physicians across Canada
• Career exploration and guidance
• Increase understanding of the scope of rural practice
• Provide learning opportunities outside of the formal academic environment
• Contribute to the current and growing need of rural physicians in Canada

Your Role As a Mentor

As a mentor with SRPC, medical students will connect with you through the SRPC office manager. Once you are connected, there will be flexibility in how you set up your mentor-mentee relationships, which can be tailored on an individual basis. This may include answering a few quick questions, setting up a longitudinal mentorship plan, or organizing shadowing experiences (public health guidelines permitting).

Expectations in your role as a mentor may include:

• Sharing experiences of rural practice with mentees for the purpose of career exploration and guidance
• Being honest and open regarding the rewards/challenges to rural medicine
• Forming a plan and setting expectations with your mentee regarding frequency of meetings and meeting platform to be used
• Sharing appropriate resources
• Recognizing that advice given, while extremely valuable, does not substitute for MD program-specific mentorship and supports

* By registering as a mentor for this program, you consent to allowing the SRPC to share the information you have provided to mentees that register for the program.  As a mentor, you may contact the SRPC at any time and have your name removed.

** Mentors must be SRPC members to participate in this program.
