Marks
It has been a while since I posted. I guess I have been resting from the marathon of the last semester. What a crazy time. I never thought I would say this but turning 40 and doing a PHD is a rough way to go.
I passed all my seminars but not with the A's and A+'s that had been the norm at the Master's level. However, I feel like I have learned lots about using a Population Health perspective when looking at knowledge exchange, especially within the context of child and youth mental health.
Despite some of the gripes from my colleagues, I feel the program at the University of Ottawa is excellent - challenging and diverse. It is difficult however, to balance all the disciplinary perspectives and to focus on a particular subject matter. In fact, this experience points directly to the difficulty of multi-disciplinary work.
Now, on to a reading course and getting ready for the dreaded comprehensive exams.
