The Professional Association of
Internes and Residents of Newfoundland (PAIRN) has unveiled a
completely redesigned and enhanced
website with a
revitalized appearance and new features.
The NLMA provided PAIRN with IT and
communications support to give the former website a much needed
overhaul. The new website contains more member-oriented information
about services and resources available to PAIRN members as well as
expanded information for prospective residents.
“PAIRN is pleased to launch this website,
which demonstrates our commitment to remaining active with our members,”
said Mairi Chadwick, president of PAIRN.
“The Internet is an integral part of
PAIRN’s plan to communicate member activities, timely information and
the accomplishments of PAIRN members to the general public. The website
also makes it easier for anyone interested in PAIRN to find answers in a
clear and user-friendly manner.”
The improved design and user-friendly
interface also makes it easier for online visitors to have immediate
access to important documents such as the recently ratified PAIRN
Collective Agreement, which outlines new salary increases and call
stipends for residents.
The content has also undergone significant
improvements and updates. It is now much more comprehensive and
highlights a wide range of themes including member health, education
resources, employment and contractual information, as well as advice for
new members beginning their residency.
PAIRN is the official voice for more than
220 postgraduate medical trainees in Newfoundland and Labrador. Members
are medical school graduates registered at Memorial University of
Newfoundland and completing residency training in hospitals and health
care centres throughout the province.
