Resident Physician Contributing Writer
NOSM University
Hi! My name is Tahereh Haji, but most of my friends call me Tati. I was born and raised on the Canadian Prairies. I did my training at the University of Saskatchewan, starting with my Honours and Master’s degrees in Biochemistry. While in grad school, I met my partner and subsequently followed her to Ottawa, Ontario, for her residency before coming back to Saskatchewan to complete my medical training. There, I fell in love with pediatrics, and I am now a fourth year pediatrics resident at NOSM University, splitting my time between beautiful northern Ontario and Ottawa. When I am not at the hospital, I love spending my time outdoors with my partner and dog, camping and hiking, and reflecting on the experiences I am having as a young doctor.
When was it that the newest woke thing to do was to ask for pronouns? In the queer communities in which I have been a member, it has been fairly common parlance to do so — but in regular life, I can’t place when it happened.
