Martin McNamara MD CCFP(EM)

What a joy it was for me to open the most recent issue of CFP and read your profile of Dr. Martin "Marty" McNamara. When I was the greenest of first-year medical students, I ended up as his roommate whilst he toiled away at the tail end of his residency training.

Over a decade ago, Marty proved to be an enthusiastic teacher, a consummate professional, and the model of a physician dedicated to serving his community, while being focused on the needs of the patient before him. It is uplifting that more than a decade later, nothing about Marty has changed (including the van).

To this day, I consider him one of my most valued role models as a family doctor.
