Season's Greetings!
I want to extend best wishes to all of Canada's PAs and to wish you health and happiness for the coming year. I hope you managed to get some down time to re-charge your batteries and to spend some quality time with family and friends.
Among the first PAs in Canada, I began my career in Ottawa in the early '70s, at The Ottawa Hospital. I made the move west in May, 2005.
I have long recognised the need for education, certification and regulation of Canadian PAs and am very positive about the bright future of PAs in this country.
I was privileged in 2004 to receive the nomination from The Ottawa Hospital for the 2004 CAP Technologist of the Year award and received two nominations for PA of the Year in 2008 (an award given annually by the Canadian Association of Pathologists).
I have had the additional privilege to have been involved in the publication of numerous articles; collaborating with a number of Pathologists and clinicians over the years; currently having my name on over sixty publications.
Happy New Year to you too! It looks
