Dear Dr.
As we celebrate Saskatchewan Women Physicians Day this year, I'm writing this message not just as a SWIMer ( SWIM Member) (I kind of like that acronym better, SWIMer , but as your colleague who witnesses firsthand the incredible impact we make every day across our province.
We are the 1 AM champions in emergency rooms and delivery suites, the steady hands in operating theaters, the compassionate voices in clinic rooms, and the determined minds in research labs. We are family doctors, specialists, researchers, and medical leaders. But more than that, we are a community of women who understand each other's journeys, challenges, and triumphs in a way no one else can.
Every day, I see us balancing multiple roles - physician, mentor, leader, colleague, friend, partner, mother - with remarkable grace. We navigate on-call schedules while coordinating family responsibilities, lead medical teams while mentoring younger colleagues, and somehow still find time to support each other through it all.
The strength of our community never ceases to amaze me. Whether it's covering a colleague's shift during a family emergency, offering advice in our group chats, or celebrating each other's achievements, we show up for one another time and time again.
To my fellow SWIMers, thank you for being not just colleagues, but allies and friends on this journey.
We are stronger together, and I'm proud to be part of this remarkable community of women in medicine.
Happy Saskatchewan Women's Day!
With gratitude and solidarity,
