Phillipe Rola

Philippe Rola, a McGill University product circa 2000, has been the Medical Director of Intensive Care at Santa Cabrini Hospital in Montreal, Canada for the better part of a decade and caught the teaching bug in 2008 after organizing the first Critical Care Ultrasound Institute Symposium. He is a proud #FOAMed supporter by blogging atthingkingcriticalcare.com and tweeting from @ThingkingCC.

His fields of focus are integrating bedside ultrasound to routine clinical assessment, shock and resuscitation, bedside procedures, and hunting down dogmatic practice to replace it by a blend of evidence, physiology and common sense.

As a Montrealer, he is fluent in french and welcomes those fellows who would prefer a hangout ‘en français'!
