PARTICIPATION
The Benefits of Participation
We recently asked several Committee members what they
enjoy about their work at the College
DR. BRIAN BURKE
Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC)
Member
Psychiatry practice. I find I’ve learned a lot on the mental health panels
What led you to becoming involved with the ICRC? by them.
I was mostly attracted to becoming a part of the CPSO as so
much of what the College does was a mystery to me. I was
very interested in finding out more about the processes.
I found most of what we see at the ICRC is actually very good
I was also post-graduate director for psychiatry in
Windsor and I wanted to be able to help our residents avoid
as well as on the general panels as to what constitutes state
of the art practice. I’ve also learned and understood the
College processes much better and I am much less mystified
Mostly I’ve enjoyed the collegiality as well as interactions
with peers, legal experts and investigators who are leaders
in their fields. I look forward to our meetings to share views
and to improve my understanding of how medicine works
administratively as well as academically in centres outside of
showing up in [the discipline summaries} in Dialogue! Windsor.
What do you most enjoy about being a member of the
ICRC? my peers. I think that this has been the best educational
I definitely would recommend ICRC participation to
experience I’ve had in my career.
