Dr. Kerry-Lynn Williams – Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL
The Rural Student and the Rural Resident Leadership Awards are presented to two students and two residents in good academic standing who have demonstrated a sustained interest in rural medicine through any of the following:
- electives in rural or remote areas or in disciplines particularly important to rural practice (e.g. Indigenous health).
- involvement with local or national rural or remote health groups.
- promotion of rural or remote health initiatives at a local or national level.
- involvement in volunteer or community-based projects in rural or remote areas.
- published work relating to rural or remote issues.
Dr. Williams has been a Family Medicine Resident with the NORFAM program in Happy Valley-Goose Bay since 2018. She will be completing her training in June 2020 and has taken on a position at the Labrador Health Centre beginning July 2020.
She has been instrumental in the development of our simulation program in NORFAM, helping to improve education of staff, students, and residents in central Labrador.
We extend our sincerest congratulations to Dr. Williams on this great accomplishment.
