CaRMS on Your Mind? Meet PM&R, the Hidden Gem

from Specialty Café Hosted by Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada

Curious about what life looks like in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R)?

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.
