What's standing in the way of work that actually fits you?
Options I hear a lot:
1. Not seeing vacancies, i.e. for hybrid, remote, flexible roles
2. No luck getting interviews
3. Getting ghosted on offers
4. Not sure what I want to do

What's true for you?

If you’re working in #MedicalEducation, policy, or #HealthHumanResources, I want to contribute.
If you have any ideas, let's talk!

The root of this is deeper:
We need to reimagine how we select, train, and support doctors β€” not just to treat disease, but to navigate complexity, uncertainty, and the lived experience of illness.

Medicine must evolve. The stakes are too high to look away.

This is a structural failure β€” of curriculum, of policy, of investment.

We urgently need:
*Doctors trained in complexity
*More internal med & chronic care specialists
*A curriculum that prepares primary care to manage what’s already here
*Real support for both patients and providers

Take #LongCovid. It isn't just underfunded β€” it’s being erased. Whatever clinics we had are closing. Research drying up. No treatment.
ME/CFS, dysautonomia, multisystem illness, overlapping diagnoses - all neglected.
No clear pathways. No coordinated care. Patients suffering.

I care deeply about health care.

Although many individual doctors care deeply, systemic issues often fail to adequately support patients with complex, chronic conditions. The system is collapsing under complexity, and it shows.

I want to help reshape what comes next.

I hear you β€” as a Gen Xer myself and someone who coaches them through job loss, I see this frustration often. Corporate culture and leadership play huge roles in valuing those qualities. There are gaps to bridge so Gen X’s hard work and wisdom get the recognition they deserve.

AI can reflect existing bias, including ageism. Age shouldn’t disqualify anyone; it’s an asset and some employers still get this. The problem isn’t AI alone, it’s how it’s used. Job seekers aren’t powerless, & their job search strategy and storytelling ability can make the difference.

I've found connection in places like Lake Louise's turquoise waters, cozy Muskoka cottages, the stunning Toronto skyline from the island, the mist at Peggy's Cove' & the quiet calm of PEI's north shore.

Canadian flag. Happy Canada Day!

It’s Canada Day, and I’ve been thinking about what this country feels like β€” not just the idea of it, but the lived experience.
Especially for the people I coach who’ve relocated here β€” they don’t just want to β€œfit in.”
They want to belong. To feel connected. To live it.🧡

Ontario folks, please share widely. There's a window of time that matters here, potentially for the life of this person.

"Health officials say someone physically handled a bat exhibiting symptoms of rabies at the north entrance of 88-100 Harbour Street on Wednesday June 25 at approximately 9:24 am"

Opinion: Rescuing summer holidays from the clutches of climate change A never-ending cascade of threats is a reminder that we need to mitigate the climate crisis if we don’t want to leave our kids in a hellscape

"Today, summer holidays are filled with the prospect of apocalypes: choking on the smoke of wildfires; suffocating in the heat; being swept away in a flood or by a destructive storm; tick-borne and mosquito-borne diseases; beaches closed by fecal coliform and algae blooms; and who-knows-what else."
