Abstract

Clinical Teaching Units have been around since time immemorial within the domain of Canadian medical education… or, have they? Join us on an activity theory-fueled journey to a Canada before Medicare was Medicare; when hospitals were less cathedrals of modern biomedicine and more last bastions for the poor, and when medical education was something that happened here-and-there in private offices. Once we demonstrate how the CTU’s creation united the activities of patient care and medical education, we will explore how negotiating the tension between them shapes trainees’ use of language and, by extension, lays down the legitimate foundations of their professional medical identities.

Biography

Dr. Brett Schrewe is Clinical Assistant Professor in the UBC Department of Pediatrics. He graduated from McGill University with an MDCM in 2007 and finished his core pediatrics residency at the Montréal Children’s Hospital in 2010. Subsequently, Dr. Schrewe headed west to Vancouver, where he completed his clinical educator fellowship at the Centre for Health Education Scholarship in 2012 and received his MA in Interdisciplinary Studies (Anthropology/Educational Studies) at UBC in 2013. He finished his General Pediatrics residency at BC Children’s Hospital in 2013.

Dr. Schrewe is currently a regular locum pediatrician in Victoria. He also works regularly in Sechelt, Thompson (Manitoba), and Iqaluit (Nunavut). His research interests include critical historical approaches to practices of undergraduate medical education, the emergence of professional medical identity in distributed learning contexts and regional medical centres, and how professional cultures are learned through recurrent conversational interactions.

In the spaces between the clinic and the research, Dr. Schrewe can usually be found on a pair of skate skis up on Cypress or adding to an ever-growing pile of interesting books that he insists he will one day read.
