On May 2, I had the thrill of attending the induction ceremony for the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. This is one of my favourite annual events, and this year카지노 게임 컬렉션s ceremony was especially meaningful because I was able to see a true legend of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Medicine get inducted: Dr. Jackie Duffin.

From 1988 to 2017, Dr. Duffin was the Jason A. Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, and in this role she taught all of our medical students to place our profession in a broader historical context and also to think critically about the ways in which medical knowledge is produced.

A number of the lessons she created for our curriculum became rites of passage for our students. I think almost everyone who studied here while Dr. Duffin taught for us has vivid memories of reading the original Hippocratic Oath with her during orientation and thinking hard about the concepts of 카지노 게임 컬렉션heroes카지노 게임 컬렉션 and 카지노 게임 컬렉션villains카지노 게임 컬렉션 in medical history during their first semester. Many students also traveled around Canada and the United States with her, as she arranged yearly field trips to medical museums in both countries.

Dr. Duffin카지노 게임 컬렉션s students were so devoted to her that some of them created the year after she retired. The Jacalyn Duffin Health and Humanities Conference has now run for two years, and it has been an outstanding success both times.

In its citation for Dr. Duffin카지노 게임 컬렉션s induction, the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션A haematologist and historian, her enduring contributions to medical research and education deepen our understanding of how the humanities inform balanced, effective medical training.카지노 게임 컬렉션

It is so terrific to see Dr. Duffin honoured for the way in which she has so effectively brought the humanities into medical education because, at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, we카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been seeing for decades the positive effects that this kind of teaching can have on students.

Because I know how beloved she always was by our students, I reached out to a few to ask for their thoughts on Dr. Duffin and what she has meant to them. Here카지노 게임 컬렉션s what they had to say.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Dr. Duffin카지노 게임 컬렉션s History of Medicine curriculum has provided an essential building block to the medical education of thousands of medical students,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Kate Rath-Wilson says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션She provided us with the critical reasoning tools to be skeptical when necessary and righteous in our advocacy. Learning about the history of our profession, its triumphs and tragedies, through Dr. Duffin카지노 게임 컬렉션s critical lens was at once humbling and empowering. Her teaching discouraged us from becoming complacent in our responsibilities as health care advocates in our future careers.카지노 게임 컬렉션

"There are few generalizations that are true in life but I can say without any reservation that Dr. Jacalyn Duffin is loved and cherished by ALL her students,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Hissan Butt. 카지노 게임 컬렉션That's why Meds 2015 established the Jacalyn Duffin Student Award and students from Meds 2020 and 2021 started an eponymous health humanities conference. It's been an absolute privilege to learn from her and ask important questions about medicine and society."

I카지노 게임 컬렉션d also like to point out that Hissan was also in Montreal for the induction ceremony, as he was receiving a . These awards recognize terrific work being done by a student at each medical school in Canada, and all of us in the School of Medicine are very proud of Hissan for being this year카지노 게임 컬렉션s recipient from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I always cherish moments in the lecture hall with Dr. Duffin,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Yannay Khaikin says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션She teaches with a kind of energy and honesty that reverberates for decades in the minds of medical students, residents, and faculty who have been fortunate to hear her speak. Her commitment to preserving the study of philosophy and history in medicine is relentless, unapologetic, and utterly unique.카지노 게임 컬렉션

카지노 게임 컬렉션Dr. Duffin has been the most influential and impactful teacher in both my medical and non-medical education,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Chantal Valiquette says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션She is a resilient, passionate, and brilliant historian/physician who is a constant source of inspiration to her students. Her dedication to her students is unparalleled, and her support for history of medicine has inspired generations of students to realize the impact our history has on our present day understandings of medicine and medical education. There is no one more deserving of an induction to the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.카지노 게임 컬렉션

카지노 게임 컬렉션Equipped with a colourful scarf, her signature round glasses, a pair of neon sneakers and an exuberance that knows no bounds, Dr. Jackie Duffin is unlike any other professor I have ever had,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Harry Chandrakumaran says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is obvious to even the least attentive student that she is unapologetically in love with her job. I cannot imagine a more deserving candidate for induction into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. Many doctors have testified in court. Rarely have they had their testimony result in the canonization of a saint. Even more impressive than meeting the Pope, Dr. Duffin manages to engage a hundred medical students while discussing the intricacies of 16th century anatomical illustrators. Perhaps that is why she is so fondly remembered by a generation of physicians.카지노 게임 컬렉션

 The Hannah Chair is funded by a program that was established by Associated Medical Services (AMS) to promote the history of medicine in curricula at medical schools across Canada. AMS funds eight Hannah Chairs at Canadian universities: six in Ontario, one in Alberta, and one in Quebec.

The Hannah Chair program is a fantastic contribution to Canadian medical education, and, at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, we have always been proud to host a Chair. While Dr. Duffin no longer teaches our students, they are still learning just as much about the history of medicine through our new Hannah Chair: Dr. Jenna Healey.

As I said, the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame induction ceremony is a tremendous event every year. I have fond memories of hosting the event in Kingston in 2014, and this year had the pleasure of sitting with Dr. Duncan Sinclair, a former dean at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and a 2015 inductee into the Hall of Fame. Thanks to everyone at the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame for hosting a wonderful evening in Montreal and for all of the work you do to recognize medical achievements in Canada.
