Rural Recruitment & Practice at PRH

🩺✨What better way to spend a Friday afternoon than participating in a hands-on simulation training exercise led by our very own PRH Emergency Department physicians! 🩺✨

Residents and medical students had the opportunity to enhance their clinical skills through a variety of realistic, simulation-based scenarios facilitated at the Algonquin College Simulation Labs. These valuable learning experiences help build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and prepare future healthcare professionals for real-world patient care situations.

A huge thank you to our PRH ED physicians for sharing their expertise and commitment to medical education. 💙

Congratulations Dr. Nimbe! 👏🏻👏🏻

Join us in Congratulating Dr. Nimbe on his Guardian Angel nomination!😇

"I would like to nominate Dr. Nimbe for recognition through the Guardian Angel Program. Throughout my labour, delivery, and postpartum recovery, these healthcare professionals provided exceptional clinical care complemented by genuine compassion, reassurance, and steadfast support during a deeply vulnerable and emotional time. Their professionalism and expertise helped me feel safe and confident, while their kindness and patience left a lasting impression on my family and myself. Dr. Nimbe helped keep me focused during delivery and ensured my son was delivered safely, combining exceptional obstetrical expertise with a reassuring presence during an emotionally charged and nerve wracking time. Each of these healthcare professionals consistently exceeded expectations. They took the time to listen, answer questions, provide encouragement, and advocate for my needs. Their emotional support was every bit as meaningful as the medical care they delivered, helping me navigate challenges and celebrate the arrival of my son."

🌄 Trails, teamwork, and true Ottawa Valley spirit 🌄

Week 2 of Community Week took our Queen’s University medical students on an ATV adventure from Laurentian Valley through Pembroke to Petawawa and back; a perfect way to experience the beauty of the Ottawa Valley.

This experience wouldn’t be possible without the incredible collaboration of our municipal partners who work together to highlight the best our communities have to offer 👏

A heartfelt thank you as well to the dedicated volunteers, including the Renfrew County ATV Club and the Laurentian Valley 50+ Fit and Feisty group 💪 Your enthusiasm, knowledge, and warm welcome brought the evening to life and made it truly memorable for our learners.

There’s something special about seeing the Ottawa Valley through fresh eyes, where natural beauty, strong community connections, and a spirit of adventure come together 💙

This is what Community Week is all about: showing our future physicians not just where they can work, but where they can belong.

Week 2 is here and we’re so excited to welcome our Queen’s University Community Week students to PRH! 🎉

We’re looking forward to another week packed with hands-on clinical experiences, meaningful connections with our incredible physicians, and of course… plenty of fun along the way! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

From exploring different specialties to diving into life in our community, we hope this week brings lots of learning, laughter, and memorable moments.
Let the adventures continue — we’re so glad you’re here! 💙
