Host Dr. Cameron Wong speaks with Suzanne Robertson, a passionate and dedicated Spiritual Health Practitioner, about the many dimensions of this deeply human role. As the spiritual and religious needs of our society shift, so too does this profession, evolving to meet the diverse needs of patients in today\u2019s complex care environments. It\u2019s enormously rewarding work with extraordinary people going through everyday experiences that we\u2019ll all be confronted with. It\u2019s also a way to recognize a person\u2019s humanity in moments where they may otherwise feel pathologized. From helping patients process grief or life-altering diagnoses to supporting healthcare workers through burnout and moral distress, Suzanne brings clarity and compassion to an often unknown part of the healthcare team. If you're starting your residency and feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or just in need of a meaningful conversation, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your hospital\u2019s spiritual health team. As Suzanne reminds us, they\u2019re here for you too. If you're starting a Royal College accredited residency, don't forget to join as a Resident Affiliate.
