Please join us for the online Queen’s School of Nursing Academic Series entitled 'Reconstructing medical professionalism in the Choosing Wisely era: A discourse analysis" presented by Andrew Smaggus, M.Sc., M.D. This event is free, and open to all.

Andrew Smaggus is currently a 5th-year student in the Health Quality Ph.D. program at Queen’s University. His current research interests focus on discursive aspects of healthcare quality and patient safety, including how notions of quality and safety are constructed within healthcare discourses. In his Ph.D. work, Andrew is investigating how the literature surrounding the Choosing Wisely campaign (an initiative to address overuse and low-value care) contributes to the construction of contemporary notions of medical professionalism. His previous research interests include resilience in health care and morbidity & mortality rounds. Andrew previously received his M.Sc. (in Healthcare Quality) from Queen’s University and his M.D. from the University of Toronto.
