Saskatoon is left with seven adult rheumatologists following the unexpected passing of our dear colleague, the late Dr. Janet Markland, in 2013. Our group is collaborating with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health to create a pooled referral system and triage system to reduce the lengthy waiting times for most of the rheumatologists. We eagerly welcomed the arrival of two new rheumatologists, Dr. Keltie Anderson and Dr. Jodie Reis, in July 2015 when they completed their fellowships in rheumatology.

What’s new in Saskatoon? Well, first of all, two of our rheumatology fellows have successfully completed their program, and now they are “facing” the pleasure of a rheumatology exam this fall. As a Program Director, I know that both of them are well prepared but pre-exam tension is always there.

Saskatoon is enjoying a much-needed infusion of new rheumatologists. With two recently locally trained graduates, Dr. Jodie Reis and I, joining Dr. Wojciech Olszynski in his long-standing practice downtown, we are proud to announce the opening of Rheumatology Associates of Saskatoon! The new space has room for even more doctors in the future, and we have our eyes on a few up and coming residents. Let us hope that patient waittimes enjoy a precipitous drop!

With the extension of our clinic on the main floor, we have also expanded our facilities to the second floor. In addition to seven beds in the Infusion Centre, the Osteoporosis Centre has two bone densitometry (DXA) machines and one bone ultrasound machine. We have also created a new space for our Osteoporosis Research Centre.

Enjoying our success story in Saskatoon, we promise
to continue delivering outstanding service to our patients, and we should remember to “judge our success by the degree that we are enjoying peace, health, and love.”
