Resident of the Month

Myles Mabee, PGY5, Diagnostic Radiology

I’m Myles and I am a current 5^th year radiology resident in Saskatoon. I was born and raised in Calgary and moved to Edmonton to complete an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree in biomedical engineering. After learning more math than I will ever need (and promptly forgetting it) – I trained at the University of Calgary for medical school and then matched to Saskatoon for radiology residency. I feel blessed to have completed residency with such a great and supportive residency cohort.

Outside of the hospital I enjoy running, playing and listening to music, reading nerdy books, and spending time with my little dog Rudy (see picture).

Here are some of the reasons Myles was chosen as Resident of the Month (As quoted from the nomination letter):

"Despite the demands of studying for board exams, Myles consistently takes the time to mentor junior residents. He regularly gathers them to discuss interesting cases or highlight important teaching points for those beginning call. It is not uncommon to find Myles post-call in the department, sitting with a junior resident to help fulfill learning objectives. He has been a constant source of encouragement and support for residents starting call and a trusted guide for those seeking advice."

"Myles excels as a medical expert, especially in situations where patient care is paramount. When nervous patients arrive for diagnostic imaging interventions, he takes the time to explain the risks and benefits and maintains open communication throughout the procedure. He actively involves patients in their care, clearly presenting all possible options and the rationale for interventions."

"In the clinical setting, Myles consistently goes above and beyond as both a collaborator and a communicator. He tailors his radiology reports to the ordering services, avoiding specialty-specific jargon in favor of clear and concise language, particularly in cases with complex pathologies. For patients with findings unfamiliar to the treating team, he proactively calls the ordering physician to explain the results and offer recommendations for appropriate follow-up. This proactive approach has been repeatedly appreciated by colleagues."

"No matter the circumstances—whether sleep-deprived, hungry, or in the middle of a challenging case—Myles approaches every situation with a smile and an attitude that inspires those around him. He is a source of pride for the Radiology department, and his exceptional contributions make him a truly deserving candidate for Resident of the Month."

Congratulations, Myles!
