Welcoming the class of #qmed2025 with a āPearl of Wisdomā. Grateful to be part of @QueensUHealth & @KingstonHSC to meet amazing students and teach/practice #PatientCenteredCare . Approachable The etymological meaning of approachable is accessible, but it is more than being simply accessible. Being approachable implies the ability to ācome near in quality or character, resemble, become similarāā¦ As a physician, I am approachable for my patients. As an educator, I am approachable for my learners. As part of an academic organization, I am approachable for our support staff and colleagues. My āPearlā today, is for you to be approachable for your peers and in a couple of years for your patients, junior students, and future colleagues Welcome to Queenās university. I wish you the best on this journey
