**Dr. Tori Lenet**
**Why did you pick general surgery?**

The people and the culture are what make the program. I have found some of my best friends in this program and would never hesitate to call any staff surgeon in the middle of the night.
**Your best memory from your residency so far?**
Doing an ED thoracotomy with Joe after calling him in from home in the middle of the night.
**What is your best trick to be successful in residency?**

**Dr. Tyler Lamb**
**Where did you go to med school?**
University of Calgary
**Why did you pick general surgery?**
General Surgery is the mix of everything I enjoy in medicine. The combination of acuity and elective cases, laparoscopic and open approaches, and the ability to care for some very sick patients in and out of the OR is the perfect variety.
**What is the best thing about this program?**
The people are the best part of this program. All of the staff are supportive, engaged, and genuinely want you to improve every day. My co-residents are some of the most remarkable people I have met, and this program truly sticks together to lift each other up and step in to help no matter what.
**What do you want to do after residency?**
Trauma/acute care surgery and critical care fellowships
**What is your best trick to be successful in residency?**
Stay organized. Make checklists, set reminders, keep an updated calendar. Residency is always busy inside and outside the hospital, and definitely when on-call, so keeping the tasks straight makes it all a bit easier.
**What is your favorite surgery?**
Trauma laparotomy and splenectomy

**Why did you pick general surgery?**
was attracted to the balance between medicine and surgery that the specialty provided and the variety of operative exposure. It is a specialty that is challenging, exciting, and immensely rewarding.
**Why Ottawa?**
Ottawa is a great place to live. It has a very active music, arts and cultural scene with great restaurants and tons of festivities. Personally, I love how it’s a very fit-friendly city. Whether you’re into summer or winter activities, it has something to offer for everyone. In the summer you can enjoy the extensive cycling and walking paths, beaches and hiking trails. And in the winter you can enjoy the many cross-country skiing paths and skating on the Rideau Canal. Over the course of residency, I hope to take advantage of the many recreational activities that the city has to offer.
**What is the best thing about this program?**
What I love most about this program is the leadership and the residents. The commitment to making us the best in the next generation of general surgeons is evident. There’s also a strong camaraderie among all the residents. My seniors are very approachable and professional. They are excellent role models who demonstrate enthusiasm to teach and are always willing to share their advice. Overall, we’re a tight-knit group of residents who love working together at the hospital, but also get together with each other outside of the hospital on our days off.
**What is your best trick to be successful in residency?**
My best trick to be successful in residency is achieving a good work-life balance and this is something I am still actively trying to work on. It requires a ton of effort in addition to a support network that is very understanding. I am thankful to have had a supportive partner, family and friends throughout this journey. Having an organized schedule with time dedicated to yourself, family and friends is also key. It’s challenging to achieve a balance, but with effort and planning, a reasonable balance is achievable.
**What do you do outside of work?**
Outside of work I like to play tennis and enjoy running, hiking and going to the gym. I find that spending time outdoors and exercising is a great way to relieve stress when most of your days are spent inside the hospital.

Dr. Julian Wang

Your best memory from your residency so far?
One night on call around midnight, I got messaged by the floor. To my surprise it was to join a birthday celebration for one of the nurses. I came up to eat ice cream cake and hang out with the nursing staff.

What is your best trick to be successful in residency?
A powerful lamp, or blue light pointed towards your face for 10-15 minutes is a great way to wake up on those early mornings. I have one in the bathroom pointed towards the shower.

What do you wish someone had told you before you started general surgery residency?
I've found that on post-call or under slept days, the support I get from my staff and colleagues overshadows many of the other aspects of a residency program I was focusing on when I was thinking about my rank-list.

How do you stay in touch with your love ones?
I try to double up time doing errands (cooking, cleaning, laundry etc.) with phone calls on a regular basis to keep in touch with the people I'm close to.

What do you like about Ottawa as a city?
It's one of the larger cities in Canada, but manages to integrate a lot of green space throughout. There's water, there are the Gatineau hills, and nearby cities are within driving distance. You can get anywhere by bike here.

Any advice for CaRMS applicants this year?
Try your best, this year is new for everybody.

**Why did you pick general surgery?**
The diversity of different diseases, procedures, and treatments. Also, being able to care for very sick and critically ill patients.
**What is the best thing about this program?**
The culture and the people. The entire general surgery team here is amazing. The program really prioritizes your educational/professional goals and is very supportive of physician wellness.
**What is your best trick to be successful in residency?**
Meal prepping and packing lots of healthy snacks.
**What do you like about Ottawa as a city?**
It's a big city with incredible access to the outdoors. There is tons of great access to biking, skiing, lakes, camping ... you name it!
**Where did you go to med schools?**
McGill University
**Any advice for CaRMS applicants this year?**
Every general surgery program in Canada is awesome, but it's important to find the one that is the best fit for you. Do as much program research as you can, reach out to residents/staff, and attend as many information sessions as you can to help you determine what is the best fit.

**Dr. Nivethan Vela**
**Why did you pick General Surgery?**
The first decision was surgery. Then I decided I wanted to work in the "life or limb" space (versus form & function). Early exposure and mentorship in general surgery had me hooked; I never looked back. The wide scope of practice and breadth of pathology makes residency exceedingly stimulating. It's like the liberal arts education of the surgical disciplines.
**Why Ottawa?**
Balance across all program attributes.
**What is your favourite thing about this program?**
The civil work environment within the division.
**What do you want to do after General Surgery?**
Vascular Surgery
**Any advice for CaRMS applicants this year?**
Take advantage of the visiting electives. Embed yourself within the programs to discover the local culture. Speak to as many people as possible to help make an informed rank list that fits with all of your life priorities.

Perfect medium sized city. Very multi-cultural and bilingual population. Good ethnic foods. Great bubble tea shops (my #1 reason obviously).

**Why did you pick General Surgery?**
I love surgery for its technicality and the immediate gratification of being able to provide a quick fix to a problem. I love gen surg for its wide variety and diversity, and the balance of medicine and surgery.
**What is the best thing about this program?**
My colleagues! The camaraderie in this program - both among residents and staff - is second to none. It’s a pleasure to work with these people, whether it’s staying up all night on busy call shifts, having fun in the OR, or going out after work to relax!
**Your best memory from your residency so far?**
Waking up during a mid-call nap to a double trauma code - ended up involving an ED thoracotomy, trauma laparotomy, and pericardial window! Otherwise, our resident retreats are always a blast.
**What is your best trick to being successful in residency?**
Work hard, play hard, sleep hard.

**Why General surgery?**
I love that general surgery provides a unique opportunity to marry theoretical knowledge and technical skill in order to produce innovative and lasting solutions to varied pathologies. Also, it is so inspiring to see a whole care team come together in the OR with the singular goal of caring for a sick patient.
**What is the best thing about this program?**
The wonderful people! It can’t be said enough that everyone from my co-residents, to the seniors and the staff surgeons are incredibly encouraging and supportive.
With the long hours we spend with each other throughout this training period, it makes all the difference to work with people you trust and get along with.
**What do you do outside of work?**
I love singing and dancing; it’s been the ultimate way to de-stress after longer days. I also enjoy sitting outside to catch up with friends and family on the phone, while intermittently fawning over dogs passing by.
**What do you like about Ottawa as a city?**
Ample green spaces! I love the view of Gatineau hills and the Ottawa River.
**Any advice for CaRMs applicants this year?**
Spend time with yourself! Reflect and take stock of what you’ve accomplished so far, and figure out what the ideal version of yourself will look like in the future. It’ll make the interview process much more meaningful and enjoyable.

**Why did you pick general surgery?**
I chose general surgery for the diversity of practice and for the wide range of medical issues and technical skills you have to learn. The feeling of making a difference in someone’s life relatively quickly is also really rewarding on a day-to-day basis.
**What is the best thing about this program?**
Definitely the people. Coming from another province and my first language being French, the residents and the staff were really helpful and supportive towards me. I felt welcome from the start and everyone made sure that I was as comfortable as I could. Also, I am lucky to have such a great cohort of co-resident this year. We try as much as possible to do activities outside of work and it makes the beginning of residency so much easier!
**What do you like about Ottawa as a city?**
Ottawa is a perfect size city. There is everything you need: great coffee shops, wide variety of restaurants, plenty of outdoors activities, etc. And all that without the disadvantage of big cities.
**What do you do outside of work?**
I try to train as much as possible (less during double block of ACS…), play golf, tennis, spikeball, etc. I also try to visit my family and friends in Montreal when I’m off during the weekends.
**Any advice for CaRMS applicants this year?**
Doing the interviews online once again this year is certainly non-optimal, but I think the most important is to find a quiet place (with good lighting) where you know you will not be disturbed. Take at least half a day off before the interview if you can and don’t panic if there is a technical issue, it happened to almost everyone last year. Take time to get to know the different programs you're interested in and try to visualize yourself in every program you put in your final ranking.

**Where did you go to medical school?**
University of Alberta

**Why did you pick general surgery?**
My resident and staff mentors in general surgery were - and continue to be - the physicians/people that I most looked up to in the hospital. General surgeons are extremely skilled operators, possess a tremendous breadth of medical knowledge, and have so much compassion for the patients they care for. I've always loved being in the OR and enjoy the unique challenges that general surgery in particular has to offer.

Surgery because I like to fidget with my hands and General Surgery because I like the squishy bits in the middle and work way better under pressure!
**What is your best trick to be successful in residency?**
As much as possible try to complete tasks as you go, theres nothing worse than getting to the end of your shift and having 16 million notes to finish. Also make friends with everyone around you, the process is crazy but your people will make it so much better!

Russia but then Calgary :)
**Where did you go to med school?**

Outside of work, I love road cycling and watching Formula 1 (sadly I chose to be a Ferrari fan). Ottawa has access to some of the best cycling roads/trails I've ever been on, especially in Gatineau Park. If you're also an F1 fan, the Canadian Grand Prix is only a 2 hour drive away!

I love the variety of presentations, the types of interactions that you have with patients and the ability to significantly improve someone's quality of life.

I had heard amazing things about the program from some of my mentors who did their residencies here. I was looking for something that was big enough that there was adequate exposure to both academic and community surgery while still being tight knit which is exactly Ottawa.

My co-residents! My cohort has become best friends and its great to have people to lean on for support.
**What do you wish someone had told you before residency?**
You will be well supported.

Before residency, I spent every single weekend either hiking, skiing or climbing. As I get more used to the schedule I'm trying to get back into that. Also tons of travel.
