This man’s enthusiasm and passion for our subject led him Prof S O’Rahilly (President) to write the definitive textbook, A History of Endocrinology, during his retirement.

  • Endocrinology Resident Profile Jill Trinacty
    Endocrinology Resident Profile Jill Trinacty July 2017 About me My name is Jill Trinacty, and I was raised in Berwick, Nova Scotia. I went completed my BSc. (Honours) at Saint Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I spent a year as the Active Living Coordinator with the Town of Kentville then completed my MD at Dalhousie University. I moved to Ottawa, Ontario in 2013 for my residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Ottawa and am currently a PGY-5 in Endocrinology and Metabolism. Why I chose General Endocrinology In medical school I became interested in almost every area of medicine, but ultimately applied to internal medicine for a number of reasons. I have always been interested in Endocrinology, specifically diabetes. Diabetes affects so many people in our communities and can have significant morbidity and mortality. I liked the detail of internal medicine and the complexity of patients. Having some previous experience in public health, I knew that I wanted a career that would allow me to discuss lifestyle changes as an aspect of therapy – specifically nutrition and physical activity. I also wanted a career that would allow for work/life balance. Seeing the day-to-day lifestyle of each internal medicine subspecialty confirmed that Endocrinology was the right fit for me. Clinical Life What does a typical day of clinical duties involve? This is an example of my typical daily and weekly schedule: Endocrinology – A typical day 7:30 – 8:00 Clerical work / Chief resident duties. Review emails, follow up on patient results, approve vacation requests, make call schedule.
