Description

Curious about what life looks like in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R)? This often-overlooked specialty, aka Physiatry, blends patient-centred care with hands-on procedures and the flexibility to shape a career that fits your life and your passions. Whether you're early in med school and exploring options or gearing up for CaRMS, you will want to tune in.

Join host Dr. Cameron Wong as he chats with Dr. Alice Kam, FRCPC, about why Physiatry might be the hidden gem you have been searching for. Dr. Kam shares how she built a practice she loves (her words!) while keeping her family at the heart of her decisions. She reflects on how her patients shaped her understanding of compassionate care and how this specialty creates space to follow your curiosity.
