Dr. Jean Maskey practices Hospitalist Medicine in the South Island.
- Why did you chose medicine and your speciality/field?
据我所知，与一位家庭医生一起，我小时候就拜访了我，在家庭电话（！）时，我想成为一名医生。随着我的成熟，这似乎是将科学与人道主义方面相结合的理想职业。家庭医学是我的职业选择，就像我本质上是一名通才，被家庭医学所需要的不断挑战性和不断变化的专业知识所吸引以及其他医疗团队成员。
- 很少有人知道您的生活经历中有独特的东西吗？
在第二年和第三年之间，我在达尔豪斯大学的医学院休假一年，然后去了印度拉贾斯坦邦的一个移动健康项目志愿者。这是一个非常贫穷的地区，受到干旱的困扰。我与一名加拿大妇女一起工作，她与她的印度丈夫（均与成人教育博士学位有关），在过去的十年中与当地乡村男人一起生活和合作，提供与灌溉开发有关的扫盲技能。她邀请我加入她的项目，该项目是为该地区的妇女提供识字技能，将其与改善出生实践的教学联系在一起，以帮助减少新生儿破伤风。我这样做了几个月，同时等待了必须领导移动健康诊所的印度医生的到来。
When the Mobile Health Clinic began to function once again, it was very short lived, as the physician had no commitment to the community or continuity of care, and soon went on holiday and then quit. I recognised the hole that this left and the sense of abandonment for the village people, who could not trust or rely on this service. The concept of Family Medicine, even now, in many countries, is not integral to the healthcare system. I realised then, and this has been confirmed over my years in practice, how valuable Family Physicians’ generalist skills and continuity of care are, as a resource to the health of individuals and the communities in which they practice. This confirmed my career direction.
- What is most meaningful to you about your work in medicine?
患者中心，通过倡导和团队努力改善护理和帮助患者和我所练习的医疗保健的“系统”的关系。与个别患者的日常接触和关系，我可以运用我的技能和知识来以某种方式帮助他们个人。
- What are your professional interests and notable achievements?
I have practiced full-service Family Medicine and Obstetrics from coast to coast. I was involved for many years with the College of Family Physicians of Canada as the National Chair of the Self Learning suite (developing quarterly CME publications with input from physicians across Canada), as well as on the National examination Committee, participating both as an examiner and with the development of Simulated Office Oral tools as we were developing the residency program and Northern Ontario Medical School in Thunder Bay.
自从14年前来维多利亚州以来，我专门从事住院医生。我曾是VGH和RJH住院医师计划的现场负责人，并且是加拿大医院医学协会执行委员会的一部分，该协会于2015年在医院医学上开发和出版了国家核心竞争力。
在过去的五年中，我已经与医师领导学院一起参加了大约十二个领导课程。近年来，我在本地运用这些技能，是参与制定和撰写住院医生既得的“关系”合同的主要住院医生，这是一项基于医生与行政管理之间的信任和牢固关系的独特合同。这个诺贝尔奖获奖概念已在其他业务中在世界各地使用，但我们是第一个使用这种格式的专业人士（医师）小组。这促进了我们作为住院医生的实践以及整个医院和政府的关系的变革变革。
I was recognised for this work as a Physician Leader 1 year ago along with 17 other physicians from across Canada, with the title of “CCPE”, which is the “Canadian Certified Physician Executive” designation.
- Who or what do you turn to for inspiration?
我有一个主要导师（医学和非医疗）的“私人董事会”，我可以求助于建议或指导，或者反思他们如何管理具有挑战性的情况。
- 您要去哪里，或者做什么，以补充电池？
我喜欢在加拿大和国际上散步，游泳和旅行：去年，我们在日本的山上徒步旅行了5天，沿着一条古老而受人尊敬的佛教朝圣之路与老朋友一起徒步旅行。
On a more daily basis, recharging my batteries always relates to artistic and creative outlets, including baking, designing and developing my own woodland garden, playing music (piano), or creating useful gifts through sewing, knitting, or felting unspun wool.
- 您喜欢的最后一本书或播客是什么？
I have been into Biographies lately:Ruth Bader Ginsbergby Jane Sherron De Hart, describes an incredible modern pioneer legal woman who has helped push the barriers for what we take as normal regarding fairness and opportunity for women today, in a time of what she describes as “radical social change”. In her nineties, she is still a Supreme Court Justice in the United States. On a similar note,变得米歇尔·奥巴马（Michelle Obama）也在许多层面上鼓舞人心。
- What core value have you most relied on during the COVID-19 pandemic?
邦妮·亨利（Bonnie Henry）博士对我来说很完美地说：“保持冷静，善良，保持安全”，同时提醒我们成为卑诗省公民。加拿大我们都是一个团队。
Similarly, in the hospital, my Core Value has been a realisation that we are all vulnerable, but stronger as a team. I am proud that, as Hospitalists working together as a team with all the other various professionals, we could (and did) create space in the hospital in a very short time period, and nimbly developed systems to both keep each other safe and healthy as well as ensure that we could care for ill patients afflicted with this novel virus, and well as all of the other conditions that require patients to be hospitalised. We will all get through this together in this fashion.
- What is a change you’ve seen to the health system over the last few months that you are eager to see sustained?
Deep commitments and authenticity, developed through the team work described above, especially between medical staff, allied health care and administration, with cooperation and flexibility that has allowed us to discover what we are capable of, together. In my mind, I think of the reduction in hospital patients census from overcapacity to appropriately 60% capacity to accommodate what we imagined would be a surge of COVID afflicted patients. This has shown us all how much better everything works when there is some time and space to care for patients. Now we need to harness these learnings for the future!
- 您希望有更多的人知道从事医学？
The delight of constant change and challenge throughout a lifetime career of working in different systems, with constant developments in medical knowledge and approaches. The honour of being involved with caring for so many fascinating and incredible people as our patients.
- 您对加拿大医疗保健的未来有什么希望？
加拿大人欣赏和接受“宝石”that we have in our national healthcare systems that provides Health Care for all, equitably. Along with this, that we learn that we need to invest generally in improving social determinants such as housing and food security, better systems of care for vulnerable seniors, and strengthen primary healthcare, supporting Family Physicians, who I believe are the cornerstone of our system.
