As part of our Career Options in Family Medicine series, we sit down with Dr. David Mongar, a family physician based in Burnaby, BC who specializes in Maternity Care, Addiction Medicine, and a blend of the two - Perinatal Addiction Medicine. Join us as we explore Dr. Mongar's journey from being inspired in a medical school Obstetrics session to practicing full-fledged Maternity Care, meconium stains and all. Dr. Mongar talks about his involvement in the Sheway Pregnancy Outreach Program in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver helping pregnant patients navigate and overcome addiction, as well as his experiences practicing rural medicine in Yellowknife, BC. He provides a wealth of advice for students interested in crafting their own unique career in Maternity Care as well as Family Medicine in general, and explores the different options available.

How many times does your care plan consist of "Refer to social work" and what happens after that? What is the big difference between nurses and doctors anyway? Is the hierarchy a thing of the past? This episode we take a moment to have two interviews with our social work and nursing colleagues to gain a bit of a better understanding of their training, scope, and how their work intersects with ours.

Spoiler alert: there's a lot more at play than you might think.

Guests: Social worker Jill Withers and Nurse Tanisha Stewart.
