Salutations from Saskatchewan!
By Bindu Nair, MD, MSc, FRCPC
Salutations from Saskatchewan! Since our last
update, we are pleased to have several rheumatologists
join our community. Now practicing
in Saskatoon, the City of Bridges, are
Dr. Matt Chan, Dr. Ambreen Khan, Dr. Sarah
Oberholtzer, and Dr. Vanessa Rininsland. Dr.
Tristan Kerr has joined the Pediatric Division
of Rheumatology at the Jim Pattison Children’s
Hospital. In the southern part of the province,
Dr. Zachary Wolfmueller has opened a rheumatology
practice in Regina.
Two of our members have received well-deserved
recognition for their accomplishments.
Dr. Regina Taylor-Gjevre was presented
with the Provost’s Outstanding Teacher Award
by the University of Saskatchewan for leadership
and excellence in education. Dr. Alan
Rosenberg has received the Saskatchewan
Order of Merit, a recognition of his contributions
to the province. Dr. Rosenberg was also
awarded the title of Distinguished Professor at
the University of Saskatchewan.
Rheumatologists in Saskatchewan
continue to be busy as ever with demand
for services on the rise. Our
members are involved in patient care
advocacy at a local and provincial level.
We have outstanding residents in
our Rheumatology Residency Program
which is under the excellent stewardship
of Program Directors Dr. Keltie
Anderson and Dr. Jodie Reis.
We wish everyone a great fall!
