CSIM Special Episode- Internists can Help the Planet, Part 1

There are everyday practices we can stop or reduce that don’t add value to patient care and harm the environment.

In this special CSIM episode, host Dr. Zahra Merali sits down with guests Dr. Mathilde Gaudreau @MathildeGSimard (General Internist, University of Ottawa), Dr. Nabha Shetty (General Internist, Dalhousie University) and Dr. Valeria Stoynova (General Internist, Island Health/UBC Island Medical Program) to discuss 4 of the Choosing Wisely Canada’s climate-conscious recommendations (https://choosingwiselycanada.org/climate/).  They were integral in creating these recommendations, and have a wealth of practical tips about how we can implement them into our own practice!
