Specialty Matters | Actualités en spécialité

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada is bringing colleagues together to talk about what's top of mind in specialty medicine - from learning to wellness to sustainable health care. We’ll hear from diverse voices, explore new ideas, and leave you with practical tips. Subscribe to this podcast for inspiration from peers, insider knowledge, and a sense of community. Who knows – one idea might spark another!  Please get in touch at fellowshipaffairs@royalcollege.ca  with any suggestions or feedback on this podcast. Transcripts in English and French are available upon request.

Note: We’ve updated this podcast name to Specialty Matters following feedback that the word scoop can be associated with the 60’s Scoop – the traumatic removal of Indigenous children from their homes and communities. In true reconciliation we recognize the harm and suffering caused to Indigenous families, communities, and people as well as continuing our own efforts to unlearn and learn.

Le Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada rassemble des collègues pour discuter d’idées de premier plan en médecine spécialisée; de l’apprentissage au bien-être en passant par les soins de santé durables. Ce sera l’occasion d’entendre des voix diverses, d’explorer de nouvelles idées et d’obtenir des conseils pratiques. Abonnez-vous à ce balado pour vous laisser inspirer par vos pairs, obtenir des informations du milieu et accroître votre sentiment d’appartenance à la communauté. Qui sait? Une idée pourrait en susciter d’autres! N’hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos suggestions ou commentaires à l’adresse affairedessassocies@collegeroyal.ca. Nous pouvons fournir des transcriptions sur demande en français et en anglais.

Remarque : Nous avons changé le nom anglais du balado, qui s’intitule maintenant Specialty Matters, car on nous a fait remarquer que le mot « scoop » peut être associé à la rafle des années 60, soit le retrait traumatisant d’enfants autochtones de leur foyer et de leur communauté. Dans un véritable esprit de réconciliation, nous reconnaissons la souffrance et le préjudice causés aux familles, aux communautés et aux peuples autochtones, et nous poursuivons nos efforts de désapprentissage et d’apprentissage.
