In this Bulletin<\/em>, you’ll find a summary of the talk given on 2025 Resident Doctor Day, by Dr Simon Maltais. Entitled Primum non nocere<\/em>, this talk was intended to provide food for thought, but also to raise awareness of situations that can lead to burnout, along with potential solutions to help get us through certain situations.<\/p>

In addition, we offer you an article about the judgment we won at the Superior Court of Quebec in the case against the Quebec government and the CISSS<\/a> des Laurentides. The complaint concerned questions candidates were asked during job interviews as to whether they had or wanted children<\/p>

Finally, you’ll find information in this Bulletin concerning CBD 2.0, and the FMRQ’s latest actions in that area. You’ll also be presented with the latest details concerning PEMs in non-family medicine specialties, particularly with the advent of PEMs in Critical Care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
