Preston Robb Neuroscience Day

23/11/2023 @ McGill Research Institute, Montreal, QC

James Preston Robb was a pioneer of pediatric neurology in Quebec and a past president of the American Epilepsy Society. His clinical judgment was respected and Robb's influence on neuroscience is considerable, particularly in the field of pediatric neurology, which is why this conference was named after him. Attending the Preston Robb Conference was an exceptional opportunity due to my profound interest in the future of pediatrics. The event provided a platform to delve into some technological advancements in epilepsy research that may offer tremendous promise for improving diagnosis, treatment, and management of the condition. However, like any field, there are potential risks and challenges associated with these advancements such as the ethical considerations around consent, autonomy, and the potential for unintended consequences. For example, there may be concerns about the use of invasive brain stimulation devices or genetic testing. Engaging in discussions and presentations about advancements in pediatric neurology was profoundly inspiring. Overall, the experience was invaluable, reaffirming my dedication to improving children's lives through medicine, research, and technology.

Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Code 

27/03/2024 @ 5455 Avenue de Gaspé, Montréal, QC

Attending the "Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Code" conference by Petal was both educational and captivating, providing valuable insights into the transformative role of coding in healthcare. I learned about innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and data analytics, which are revolutionizing patient care and administrative processes. Engaging with professionals from diverse backgrounds further enriched my understanding of the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between healthcare professionals and technology experts, as well as the value of data interoperability. The seamless exchange of information for instance, can eliminate many sources of stress for patients and reduce errors. I also gained insight into the challenges of data sensitivity and patient privacy. Compliance, privacy, and security all require equal consideration if the program is to uphold its ethical foundation. Attending a conference about coding underscored the ongoing learning journey in technology. Keeping pace with advancements such as these and integrating new skills is essential for future progress in various fields, including healthcare.
