Resident of the Month

Avery Ironside, PGY1, Family Medicine

I am a FMR1 in Prince Albert who was born and raised in west central Saskatchewan. I have done all of my undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate education with Usask. I enjoy sports, reading, the great outdoors, and spending time with my wife and one month old daughter!

Here are some of the reasons Avery was chosen as Resident of the Month (As quoted from the nomination letter):

"Avery is the ultimate poster child for rural family medicine. He grew up in small-town Saskatchewan and makes time to go back home to play on his local recreational hockey team while continuing to be a highly respected colleague within our program."

"Avery is intentional about making residents feel connected through his invitations to engage - be it for a round of golf, a long run, a group blood donation venture, or a ski loppet."

"What a gem!"

Congratulations, Avery!
