🌟NOSM Resident Spotlight - Dr. Dillon Lee, PGY2 🌟

📍 Hometown: Montreal, Quebec

🏫 Medical School: McGill University

🏥 Residency Goals: become a surgeon who is not only skilled but also approachable, non-judgemental and compassionate towards patient care. I’ll be looking into sports, arthroplasty (and potentially paediatrics 👀) fellowships in the coming years

🔬 Research Interests: my love for exercise, nutrition, and my background in occupational therapy has led me to prehabilitation, a program that aims to optimize patient factors prior to surgery. I’ll be piloting a prehabilitation program here in Thunder Bay for high risk total knee arthroplasty patients in 2025.

🎉 Hobbies & Interests: 83KG CPU Powerlifter. Ranked 5th across Canada in 2023. 🦾
Spending time with the fiancée and the fam 🤗

725LBS (+47LBS PR), albeit, on the bendy bar and at 195LBS BW (+12LBS BW compared to pre-water cut comp weight in May).

800KG total looking plausible in Feb. 😤

@joebull.mofo promised me noob gains in August when he started programming for me. Looks like he was right. 🤯🤩🙏🏼 Excited to see where things go from here. 📈

Grateful to attend the AO Sports North America Course — Principles of Sports Medicine: The Joint Is an Organ in Long Beach. It’s always striking how, even in another country, you reconnect with former colleagues while meeting new mentors along the way.

Thank you to AO faculty Dr. Ryan Martin (Banff) for co-chairing the course and hosting a Canadian post-conference dinner, and Dr. Bogdan Matache (Ottawa) for sharing his expertise as a lecturer.

Special shout out to our NOSM sports staff — Dr. Tina Lefrancois (Thunder Bay), Dr. Ryan Hodgins (pictured; Sudbury), Dr. Joel Moktar (Sudbury), and Dr. Justin Todd (Sudbury) — for providing our residents with an outstanding hands-on sports experience. 🙌🏼

Proud to be training with @nosm_ortho .

Our PGY2 resident, Dr. Dillon Lee, is having an incredible year filled with diverse and exciting learning experiences! 🚨🚑🦴

Dillon is gaining invaluable hands-on experience this year, starting with the Surgical Foundations Review Course in Ottawa, moving on to an action-packed trauma rotation at Sunnybrook Hospital with the University of Toronto, and most recently completing the AO Trauma Basics of Fracture Management in Kentucky.

These opportunities are not only sharpening clinical skills but also helping our residents build strong connections across the orthopedic community.

We are proud of our residents for their dedication to growth and excellence in orthopedics!

Easterns 2024 Recap 🇨🇦

747.5KG (260/175/312.5) total, +4.5KG PR, 8/9 at 85.6KG BW, 101 GL points. Good enough for🥉in 93KG weight class.

This meet marks my first powerlifting competition since starting the rigours of a surgical residency program. While the hours worked are professionally rewarding and I’m genuinely enjoying the process of becoming a surgeon, the regular 100H work weeks are physically and mentally demanding.

Committing to compete in these “less-than-ideal” circumstances was a difficult decision. It was difficult to keep self doubt at bay, especially without a coach to rely on.

Maintaining an even-keeled mindset and an objective approach has been a major asset to success this prep. This meet was about setting the tone for balancing my future powerlifting and surgical career. 🙏🏼 We are one step closer to one day representing Canada on an international stage. 🇨🇦

Thank you to my beautiful fiancée for her love and support @yourockyougotthis wouldn’t have been possible without her support 🥰❤️😘 by @dill.lift

Squats and dead’s have been lackadaisical at best, but bench has been more than sustainable during residency. 180KG (+5KG comp plate PR) at the end of my emergency medicine rotation. 🩺 by @dill.lift
