A bittersweet moment for me as I head to my next adventure: leading the development of a paramedic program at Queen’s University, including a new entry-to-practice degree, and postgraduate pathways.

I recently responded to three (yes, three) in flight medical emergencies with a fellow passenger who is a family physician…we basically worked a night shift on the red eye to the UK. While I have responded to in-flight medical emergencies before, this was certainly the most amount of times in one flight, and it was …
