\"AlexOn Thursday, September 24, 2020, the Parkland Unit hosted Winnipegosis resident Alex Lytwyn to talk about disabilities.<\/p>\n

Alex, who uses a wheelchair and has the support of a guide dog, presented a well-developed power point presentation to the 11 trainees and some faculty\/staff.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the session was to meet one of the educational objectives within the family medicine curriculum.<\/p>\n

Alex was able to discuss his background since childhood and showcase his challenges and successes to date.<\/p>\n

Further, during this COVID-19 pandemic and self-isolation, Alex was able to share his experiences which many could be feeling during this time.<\/p>\n

By completing this session via MB Telehealth, we were able to welcome a guest that might otherwise have had more challenges to accommodate in person (ie. cost of transportation, etc.).<\/p>\n

Interaction was very good and residents asked some very important questions.<\/p>\n

Alex\u2019s zest for life and ability to overcome challenges faced, left the group in awe of his journey.<\/p>\n

The feedback on this day was overwhelmingly positive and it is hoped to continue to nurture this relationship in the future.<\/p>\n

Alex has much knowledge to share and we very much enjoyed this presentation.<\/p>\n

\n

Now in its twenty-eighth year of operation, the Parkland Family Medicine Residency Unit, located in Dauphin, is a training site for the University of Manitoba, department of family medicine.<\/p>\n

Its aim is to prepare physicians with knowledge, skills and attitudes for rural family practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
