A letter to my younger colleagues

“A letter to my younger colleagues” is a series of essays written by selected senior Canadian paediatricians, who were named as outstanding mentors by a prominent group of their younger peers. We hope you enjoy and treasure the rich pearls of wisdom that each author offers, based on a lifetime of professional practice and personal reflections.

The essays are posted on the CPS website in the language of submission.
