Although this marks a first in terms of a national mentorship deliverable, the College has been involved in several mentorship initiatives at the chapter level, and a unique private/public mentorship pilot program. In the most recent issue of Healthcare Quarterly (Vol. 15 No.4 2012), Paul Castonguay, CHE, College Board Director and Regional Customer Value Leader with F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. describes the private/public mentorship pilot program in an insightful article entitled: “An Extra-organizational Mentorship Pilot for Canadian Health Leaders”. In Mr. Castonguay’s article, he outlines the potential for leadership development through mentorship, the importance of sharing tacit knowledge and the benefits that both mentors and mentees gain from participating in the program. In addition he notes that the pilot program has “helped to advance partnerships based on trust and respect across the two sectors.”

What is the Health Professionals’ Roundtable for Strategy?
The first and only program of its kind in Canada, the Health Professionals’ Roundtable for Strategy (HPRS™) is an exclusive think tank of health care leaders grouped in client panels to express their views and opinions based on their own knowledge and experience in the health care system. When the College’s corporate members expresses a need for focused, yet informal, advice concerning their marketing strategies; market dynamics; environments; business models; approach to market; and existing and/or proposed products and/or services, the College identifies health care leaders willing to share their time and talents with participating corporate clients for this purpose.

Local prioritization of priorities
Returning from a recent trip to Sierra Leone, Africa I am profoundly imprinted with the experience. The country people are resilient, determined and hopeful. They’ve refined the art of prioritizing the priorities, and intuitively understand the importance of social determinates of health. Despite extreme poverty and hardship, the people were jovial and committed to helping one another, especially those most vulnerable.

Healthcare Ghost Busting series with Hugh MacLeod / La série d’essais Healthcare Ghost Busting, par Hugh MacLeod
(Le texte français suit.)
You never know what will cause a chain reaction.
In the past year, I penned a pair of essays for Longwoods Publishing about the “The Ghost of Healthcare Despair”. The essays were well-received and resonated so strongly with Longwoods’ readers that they have invited me to create an entire series focused on “ghost busting” in healthcare.
For each essay in the series, I’ve invited a different co-author to join me as we explore the twists and turns in our healthcare system – with the Ghost of Healthcare Despair, who represents the voice of the cynic, not far behind.
