Dr. Bradshaw, our Board President was born and raised in Winnipeg. She completed her education and medical training at the University of Manitoba. She practices comprehensive family medicine as a Family Physician at the Tuxedo Family Medical Clinic, which she co-owns.

Her passion about issues that affect physicians as a whole, prompted her to join the Doctors Manitoba board. She believes the medical profession has unique needs, and when decisions need to be made that impact doctors’ practices and personal lives, physicians themselves should play an integral role in that process. She feels she can help influence change more effectively in her role on the board, where she can be a part of making changes in legislation, regulation, and fee negotiations. Being in the role has proven to be more challenging than she initially thought and has given her a new appreciation for people in leadership roles.

As a fitness and nutrition junkie, Dr. Bradshaw has tried many different fitness programs, from Barre to CrossFit and she seeks out new ways to eat healthy, including paleo, keto, intermittent fasting, and keto fasting. She and her husband, whom she met while on a rural rotation in Russell, love watching the Jets and spending time with their two (nearly grown) children. She proudly wears the Hockey Mom badge of honour.

Dr. Boroditsky is our President-Elect. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Dr. Boroditsky got bit by the medical profession bug early, when we began doing research in Women’s Health in the summer of 1991.

In 2015, he travelled to Nepal with the International Red Cross to help provide medical aid following the devastating earthquake and he has completed two missions with Doctors Without Borders in Africa as a Staff Obstetrician.

Dr. Boroditsky’s involvement with Doctors Manitoba began when he was a medical student. He kept a keen interest over the years and is honoured to be part of a group that supports the whole physician both personally and professionally.

Outside of medicine he enjoys spending time travelling in the winter or at the family cottage in the Interlake with his wife and their two daughters.

Dr. Desilets is especially interested in family planning, maternity care, surgical obstetrical care, and gastrointestinal endoscopy. She holds a Certificate of Added Competence (CFPC) in Enhanced Surgical Skills.

Her passion for health care administration, advocacy, and leadership has led to many different roles outside of her busy practice. Having represented both the province of Manitoba and the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada at the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) and the ESS Certificate of Added Competency Working Group, and being engaged with physicians from her district as a Practice Supervisor for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba (CPSM), Dr. Desilets naturally fell into her position on the board. She also makes time for the Doctors Manitoba Mentorship Program, to connect with medical learners. Doctors Manitoba proved to be a reliable and accessible resource when Dr. Desilets moved to Manitoba and she was impressed by the immediacy and accessibility of our work.

As Chair, he brings his enthusiasm, optimism, and unwavering commitment to strengthen and support the profession. He endeavours to advocate for all physicians as they navigate through many great challenges and the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, and join his colleagues helping to lead change and shape the future of healthcare delivery in Manitoba.

When he is not attending to his patients, Dr. Thompson is a voracious media consumer and cinephile. He has an unhealthy addiction to collecting watches and loves to travel, despite his crippling fear of flying.

FUN FACT: Despite his fear of flying, Dr. Thompson has applied (unsuccessfully) to two CSA astronaut recruitment campaigns, and hopes to one day get his pilot’s license.

Dr. Kaiser graduated medicine from the University of Pretoria Medical School in 1994 and did her residency at the HF Verwoerd Hospital in Pretoria. She began her career in private practice in Empangeni — KwaZulu Natal, South Africa and worked at a TB Clinic and Cardiac clinic at a rural Ngwelezana Hospital. In 2000 she moved to Canada to work in private practice. She worked at the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba for 7 years as their in-house physician and was trained in Methadone for Addictions and recently completed a course in Methadone for Palliative Care. Since moving to Brandon, Dr. Kaiser has started the Methadone Clinic, becoming the first physician in Manitoba to prescribe Methadone for addictions outside of Winnipeg.

In 2008, she started working as a part-time hospitalist, but in 2010 left AFM to work exclusively as a hospitalist specializing in internal medicine in Brandon. With many family physicians in Brandon and surrounding areas without hospital privileges, hospitalists are responsible for these patients.

Dr. Kaiser joined the board to advocate for family physicians and hospitalists. Both, she believes, are undervalued. She sees that we are heading towards a crisis in family medicine as fewer and fewer graduates want to practice family or hospital medicine. Family physicians and hospitalists are the constant in patient care, pulling together all of the different pieces and making sure that nothing is forgotten or missed. 

In her spare time Dr. Kaiser does cross fit four or five mornings a week with her husband. She enjoys skiing, gardening, boating, and fishing with her husband, but her biggest passion is reading. Any chance she gets, her nose is in a book. She and her husband have three daughters and a son, ranging in age from 12 to 23. As the general handy-person/accountant/gardener/pool person/​organizer/​finder of lost things of her family, there is not much Dr. Kaiser cannot do. If she finds there is something she has not done before, she does her research and gives it a try!

Fun Fact: Her daughter’s horse, named CJ, is Dr. Kaiser’s ​“therapy animal” and she finds it relaxing to visit the barn.

She completed her orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Toronto and a Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Fellowship at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

When she first started practice, Dr. Gordey found that, despite several years of training, she was unprepared for some healthcare system challenges that are part of being a physician. She joined the board to take a more active role in the organization that supports other Manitoba physicians and gives them a voice.

Dr. Gordey and her husband live in Morden with their two dogs. After all the moving around for school and medical training, they are very happy to finally be settled.

Our District Representative for Concordia, Dr. Tunovic, works in primary care as a Family Physician at Concordia Community Clinic and as a consultant at Bethania and Pembina Place personal care homes. He spent part of his career as a hospitalist at the Concordia Hospital. 

The significant health care restructuring that involved Concordia Hospital prompted Dr. Tunovic to join the Board at Doctors Manitoba. Dealing with regional politics and seeing the effects of experienced physician opinions being disregarded made him realize just how valuable a role family doctors can play in their community and at all levels of healthcare. He decided to take his passion to a place where he could make a difference for his colleagues.

He grew up in Winnipeg and studied medicine at the University of Manitoba. In his spare time, Dr. Tunovic plays soccer and basketball and whenever possible he loves to travel and spend time outdoors with his wife.

She also felt that, for a long time, women’s voices were missing from the board. She is excited to share her perspective as a rural Family Physician and parent. She loves hearing from members, regardless of the region of the province in which they practice. 

Dr. Papetti used to have hobbies but, sadly, does not anymore. She and her partner are busy parenting three small children and she hasn’t slept through the night in nearly four years. Most days she counts herself lucky if she finds the time to shower.

Over the 20+ years of his involvement with Doctors Manitoba, he has witnessed and been part of phenomenal growth in the organization, and is proud to see the organization continue to improve.
