Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is a structured peer support program, which aims to normalize discussions about career-related stressors and provide opportunities to connect, share challenges, express gratitude, and develop coping strategies together.

Dr. Kay Dingwell is one of a handful of PEI physicians who rotate shifts at the Gender Affirming Health Care Clinic. She, and the others involved, have been trying to educate the public about the importance of gender-affirming care and how to be a better ally to the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Dr. Scott Cameron has been announced as the new Medical Society of PEI Board of Directors Chairperson. He will assume the role effective September 1.
