Why do psychiatrists have one of the highest suicide rates among physicians? I spoke to an expert and the answer is complex but points to ways of prevention.

The Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) reported in a national survey that 73% of pharmacists reported an increase in harassment, verbal abuse and other forms of abuse by patients since the pandemic began.

High levels of occupational stress are plaguing the pharmacy community today.

Being a physician can be really lonely, starting with the pre-med competition and continuing into residency and fellowship, and then practice. What’s the solution?

I overcame an entire lifetime of avoiding responsibility, moving on from any job when things stopped being fun, and allowed myself to be voted in as the lead physician of the Shelter Health Network Physicians Group. It will be a couple of hours a week they said, no big deal they said . . .

We asked physicians how they're able to make time for both of these key responsibilities.
