Dear Residents,

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to each of you during Resident Appreciation Week.

Your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to our patients make a meaningful difference every day. You provide high-quality, compassionate care to the people of Northwestern Ontario, often in complex and demanding circumstances, and your service is deeply appreciated.

I recognize that residency is an exceptionally challenging period. Balancing intense clinical responsibilities with rigorous educational requirements requires resilience, adaptability, and perseverance. Your willingness to learn, grow, and continue to place patients at the centre of your work reflects the very best of our profession.

At TBRHSC, our mission is grounded in delivering excellent, patient- and family-centred care through collaboration, innovation, and accountability. Your contributions embody these values. You are integral members of our healthcare teams, and your commitment to respect, compassion, excellence, and teamwork strengthens our organization and the care we provide.  

As you continue your training, I hope you will consider TBRHSC not only as a place where you learn, but as a place where you can envision your future practice. We are committed to supporting physicians who share our values and our dedication to serving this region, and we would welcome the opportunity to see many of you continue your careers here as members of our medical staff.

Please know that your efforts do not go unnoticed. All members of our hospital community value and appreciate your contributions and the role you play in advancing patient care, education, and our shared vision of improving health outcomes for the people we serve.

Thank you for everything you do, and best wishes as you continue your training and professional journey.

With appreciation,

Adam Exley 

Vice President, Medical Affairs
