  • Patient focus: Promote the clinical model of IR, emphasizing service to patients.
  • Knowledge expansion: Enhance our understanding of disease epidemiology, pathophysiology and evidence-based medicine to provide better longitudinal care.
  • IR residency support: Advocate for the development of resident, fellow and medical student-driven clinics.
  • Recruitment: Attract passionate individuals to advance IR and enhance patient care.
