Mastering Intensive Care 54 - Research success, end of life care, & clinical leadership pearls (Replay episode with Deborah Cook)
In this episode of the Mastering Intensive Care podcast we replay a previous episode which featured Deborah Cook (broadcast originally as episode 46).
Deborah is an intensivist at St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton and Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics, and Academic Chair of Critical Care at McMaster University. Deborah has received numerous awards for her practice, teaching, mentoring and research, including an Officer of the Order of Canada. She is one of the evidence-based medicine pioneers, and has cultivated and led countless large international investigator-initiated intensive care research studies, mostly with the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group, which she was a Founder of, and which now awards the Deborah J. Cook Mentoring Award to recognise the huge number of people she has mentored around the planet.
In this replayed interview from 2019, Deborah talks about the rekindling of her early career desire to study and practice better end of life care to improve the quality of the dying experience for patients and their families, with the Three Wishes project. She also gives her wise and experienced thoughts on the keys to success in research, ward rounds, family involvement in the ICU, her expectations as an ICU consultant, communication, note-writing, her own self-care and love for family, and some valuable closing career tips.
I invite you to listen to this replay episode with Deborah Cook.
