Dr. Frank Myslik
Emergency Physician, London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Health Care
London; Assistant Professor, Western University | 36 | HOMETOWN: Morpeth, Ontario
From early on in his medical pursuits, full-time emergency medicine physician Dr. Frank Myslik knew he
wanted to pursue academic medicine, not only to teach, but also to contribute to medical innovation.
Supporting national and international trainees as a research supervisor, mentor and recruiter, he is also the
director and creator of Western University's Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Fellowship and a trailblazer
in the research, application and training for clinical use of point-of-care bedside ultrasound technology.
His work in this area is improving diagnostic servicing within emergency rooms via quick access to
imaging at any time of day or night, in turn bettering the diagnosis of emergent issues for patients and
delivering better efficiencies and practices for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
What would you say is your single biggest business
achievement, and why? Since joining the emergency department
here, I've had the privilege of developing a fellowship
program focused around using ultrasound at the bedside
of patients, allowing clinicians to integrate their findings
into their clinical care in real time. This has brought
learners from across Canada and internationally
to train with us. Seeing them start programs of
their own at their own hospitals or stay to join
our team here in London has been exceptionally
rewarding.

What about your biggest business obstacle?
And how did you face it? I don't think it's
any secret that healthcare - especially
the emergency department - is under
immense strain these days. It's a highstress,
fast-paced environment that
demands quick decision making on
complex and sick patients. Doing
this while managing high volumes
of patients, with limitations on
resources and beds, can be at
times absolutely soul-crushing
