2023 Rural Medicine Learner Photo Contest



Thank you to everyone who shared photos from across Canada. There were many entries that showcased the beautiful places we get to practice in as rural physicians, and choosing just three winners was difficult. 


In first place, congratulations to Christine Miller
from the University of Alberta.

“Yukon has the best hiking spots to experience while on rotation. Views post Gray Mountain Cave scramble.”


In second place, congratulations to Julie Saby from the University of Saskatchewan.

“They call SK the land of living skies for a reason. I love watching storms roll in, northern lights dancing, and sunsets paint the sky colours I’ve never seen all from my front door. I’m surprised I haven’t developed torticollis yet from always looking up.”


In third place, congratulations to Aanchal Ralhan from the Memorial University.

“Northern lights over the clinic in Hopedale, Labrador.”
