ISSUE 83 Jan-Mar 2018

Dear All, I said goodbye as Chief in the last newsletter, but you will still have to bear with me, as I am still Chair for the next few months, waiting for the University to appoint our new Chair. The process has been initiated and we should know in the coming months who will lead us. Please join me in extending congratulations to Dr. Karen Gulenchyn, who just retired on December 31st from her position as Chief of the Department of Nuclear Medicine, after 15 years at the helm. Dr. Gulenchyn will keep working part time at HHS and SJH, and I am sure, will still contribute to Nuclear Medicine and our entire Department. Dr. Gulenchyn was the first recipient of our Academic Radiologist of the Year Award for 2010, for the quality of her teaching to our residents during their nuclear medicine rotation, and her remarkable contribution to research. As well as her dedication to nuclear medicine and clinical imaging research, she has assumed various leadership roles at HHS, one of her last missions being structuring the new Department of Pediatric Radiology at MUMC. It has been a real pleasure to work with Dr. Gulenchyn all these years and I wish her a well deserved partial retirement.

INS IDE THIS

Dr. Amit Singnurkar is replacing Dr. Gulenchyn as Chief of Nuclear Medicine. He joined McMaster in 2009 after completing Medical School and Nuclear Medicine at McGill University, followed by a fellowship in Nuclear Oncology and PET/CT at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre. He also completed a Master of Public Health, Clinical Effectiveness, at Harvard School of Public Health, in August 2015. Dr. Singnurkar currently serves as a member of the Ontario PET Steering Committee. He has big shoes to fill and I wish him much success. Each year the RSNA R&E Foundation recognizes outstanding trainees who have made significant contributions to radiologic research through the Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award. In 2017, the Foundation presented the Roentgen award to 17 Canadian residents/fellows. Congratulations to Patrick Kennedy, who is among the recipients of this prestigious award. All the best, David Koff Chair, Department of Radiology, FHS
