(From Connexion Newsletter Spring/Summer 2024)

Connecting with peers is more than just professional, it’s a great way to develop new friendships and find people who have common interests. It’s hard to find balance in a busy life, but bursts of fun can sure ease stress and reinvigorate a sense of joy.

At the Division, our goal is to create a social environment that primary care providers in the Thompson Region want to be a part of. If we can create a strong social structure, then we believe that this is the foundation for not only retention but recruitment. We aim to create opportunities that offer something for everyone, and where everyone is welcome.

Over the past few months, we’ve enjoyed connecting with our members through Valentine’s Day clinic pop-ins, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and on Saturday, May 11, we had a great time at Walk With Your Doc at McArthur Island Park in Kamloops.

The Thompson Division is dynamic, and we look forward to offering places and spaces for professional and social connections that make the foundations of a strong and vibrant community that is welcoming to all, and attractive to those who are considering making us their new home.

As we more forward, we want to hear from you. How would you like to connect with colleagues? What types of educational sessions would be of interest?  What can we do to help you and your colleagues foster new connections in our community?
