Hi!
I'm Ryan, I'm currently a fourth-year interested in and devoted to orthopaedics. In addition to helping the committee with managerial tasks and helping to guide it towards the Chair and Vice Chair's overall goals, here are what I'd like to focus on if re-elected as Treasurer:
- 'Orthomonth' - A series of weekly virtual lectures that aims to better prepare students leading up to our ELITE trauma course.
- 'Subspecialty Series' - Sharing the different career pathways of each orthopaedic subspecialty. This will be done in two ways:
- Small lectures scattered throughout the year featuring surgeons from different subspecialties.
- Instagram 'Spotlights/Profiles' highlighting key information regarding each subspecialty and answers about their careers.
- Membership Benefits - Paid members will be given new benefits over non-members. These may include:
- Priority registration for events
- Provide direct feedback to the committee + help select lecture topics/events
- Discounts
Below are relevant qualifications/experiences that provided skills to help ensure my plans succeed.
- Current Treasurer for the T/O Society - Completed managerial tasks, helped facilitate this year's ELITE trauma course, and organised the lower limb lecture.
- Current Chair for the Roundnet Society - Managed and/or organised all events, advertising, fundraising, meetings, and socials.
- Orthopaedics observership - Completed at Sunnybrook Hospital (Canada's largest trauma centre) and the Holland Orthopaedic & Arthritic Centre (specialised arthroplasty hospital).
- Actively involved in research - With doctors and medical students from the University of Toronto.
