Recorded on November 22, 2024.
Join us for grand rounds this week where Dr. Allan Meldrum, a third-year anesthesia resident at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, discusses the use of social media as a tool for medical education.
Originally from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Allan completed his undergraduate degree in Honours Physics and Biology at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus. He then completed his medical school training at UBC Vancouver and is currently completing his anesthesiology residency training as a PGY-3 at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. He is a co-creator and co-producer of the U of S Department of Anesthesiology's resident podcast, "Airway, Breathing, Conversation", and enjoys managing the department's YouTube channel, "USask Anesthesia". He has a passion for medical education, and is currently completing his resident research project developing educational materials for Preoperative Assessment Clinic (PAC) patients regarding the roles and responsibilities of anesthesiologists. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, playing music, and home-cooking with his wife.
