It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that Tracey Hill will be retiring effective, October 29, 2021.

Tracey graduated from Princess Margaret Hospital/Thunder Bay Cancer Clinic in 1984 as a Radiation Therapist. She moved to Newfoundland and practiced at the Newfoundland Cancer Clinic for 3 years and then returned back to Thunder Bay in 1989.

From 1994–2014, Tracey took on the role of Clinical Coordinator for Radiation Therapy students in collaboration with the Michener Institute and University of Toronto / Laurentian University. Within these years of working closing with the students, she developed a passion for teaching and learning and completed her Masters of Education through Memorial University.

Throughout these last almost 8 years, Tracey has practiced as an Interprofessional Educator where she has lead and supported exceptional work to optimize education delivery, enhance patient care and experience, and tackle large scale change. Tracey has been an invaluable member of the IPE department and I would be remiss to not include her vital role in implementing simulation-based education to the Hospital as well as her innovative work in the success of the Respect Project.

It has been an absolute privilege to work beside her and to learn with and from her over these past few years. She has made a huge impact to the organization both professionally and personally and we will miss her dearly. We wish her nothing but success and happiness as she endeavours into this next chapter.
