The Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine pays homage to Dr. Jill McEwen in a special commentary co-authored by Dr. Riyad Abu-Laban, a distinguished DEM Professor and Emergency Physician, and Tamara McColl, who serves as the Director of Education, Scholarship, and Faculty Development in the University of Manitoba’s Department of Emergency Medicine. This tribute highlights Dr. McEwen’s significant contributions to the field.
An excerpt from the commentary:
“On November 1st, 2024, the Canadian emergency medicine (EM) community suffered a profound loss with the sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Jill McEwen. For decades, Jill was a towering presence in EM; a trailblazing clinician, an innovative educator, a visionary leader, and a passionate advocate for women in her specialty. She was also a strong proponent of work-life balance.”
