FROM DESIGN COMPLET WE DO IT ALL
Filling Big Shoes Recently, I was able to attend a Scholarship lunch hosted by the St. Thomas-Elgin Health Re- cruitment Partnership Commit- tee whose goal is to bring local medical students back to prac- tise in their home community. At this event, I was introduced to Dr. Meghan Robinson who recently returned home herself to serve her community of Southwold.

Dr. Robinson’s interest in a medical career began early. “When I was a young child, I fell and broke my arm. I remember feeling so scared when it first happened, but after arriving to the hospital and having a cast placed on my arm, I remember being in such awe. From then on, I wanted a career that would allow me to help others. During my schooling, physiology was my favourite course. I loved learning how the human body can work, but also how it can be disrupted and what can be done to help with the healing process.” While Dr. Robinson was born in the area, she has travelled extensively but is thrilled to be back home. “I was born and raised in St. Thomas but attended Southwold Public School and had several friends from the Southwold community. After high school, I attended university in British Columbia and then medical school in the Caribbean. I have been practicing medicine since July, 2021. During my clinical rotations, I lived in six different states in less than two years. It was certainly an exciting journey, but I’m very happy to be home.” Dr. Robinson’s clinic is in Shedden, where she has taken over for another fixture of her community, Dr. Connie Robinson, her mother. “Dr. Connie Robinson, was a physician in Shedden for 30 years. As my schooling neared an end, we discussed the potential for me to transition into her practice as she retired. I’ve been told that I have big shoes to fill, and I think that speaks volumes to one of the most important mentors I’ve had on this journey. It’s a pleasure to be able to take over the care of her patients.” While Dr. Meghan Robinson could have practised anywhere, is was the sense of community and family that drew her home. “I had the opportunity to travel throughout North America while pursuing my education, and although it was such an incredible experience, I think the saying ‘Home is where the heart is,’ certainly rings true. While choosing where I wanted to live and build my career, it was important for me to be near my family. Ultimately, choosing to practice in Shedden was influenced by my mother. Before we had even discussed my taking over her practice after she retired, I knew I wanted to practice in a community where I would have as much pride as she does in Shedden. While I’m out running errands at lunchtime, it’s nice getting a wave from people within the village or having a conversation with another customer at a store. The community has welcomed me with open arms, and I look forward to practicing here until I retire. I think an important part of community is giving back, when and where you’re able to, and that is something I feel very strongly about.” While Dr. Robinson does have a wait list for new patients, she does say that she is constantly working on ways to service more to help her community. Welcome home to a grateful community, Dr. Robinson!
