Greetings. everyone,

As I step into my role as dean of the Faculty of Medicine, I’d like to share a few thoughts on the road ahead and why I find myself drawn to this opportunity.

Firstly, it’s wonderful to be back on the Island. My wife Jane, our two dogs Murphy and Lincoln, and I recently made the journey from Saskatoon to Stanhope, and the warmth of your Island welcome hasn’t gone unnoticed. We are thrilled to be here. Thank you for making us feel so at home.
