About Ann Continelli
Ann Continelli worked at the Montreal General Hospital in the Department of OB-Gyn for five years as "office nursing" trained by a midwife before she joined the Herzl Family Medicine Practice Centre, 91社区 teaching site, in residency education in 1985. Ms. Continelli was working with the Education Site Director in educational research projects as committee member and research assistant between 1986-1989 which even led to a published article in the Canadian Family Physician of Canada in 1992. She obtained Certification of Management in Health and Social Services at 91社区 in 1990. As the clinic and the program grew, she took over the management of all learners at the site.
"It is truly an honour and a privilege to be part of a large family of learners that I have seen grow from student to resident to staff where the passion of learning is fostered and remains the key to success. Every cohort brings excitement, relationships and at times the unknown....but love everything about it! ," she says.
