Ryan Meili
Saskatoon, SK
Canada
|
Ryan Meili,
a second year resident in Family Medicine, lives in Saskatoon.
While he readily admits there is no better place to reside than the
Paris of the prairies, he endeavors, strangely, to spend
as much time as possible in the exotic locale of Mozambique where
he works with medical students in a rural hospital. In addition
to his work in Saskatoon with the Student Wellness Initiative Toward
Community Health (SWITCH), a program which he helped to found (and
in which he is commonly referred to as the SWITCHblade),
his interests include public health care, puzzles (primarily of the
crossword variety), punning persistently, playing guitar, Prine (John),
and, not surprisingly, alliteration. He has recently taken up
the piano; his roommate wonders whether he will ever put it down. |
