DR. PAUL's Medical Background
Certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and the Royal College
of Physicians of Canada, DR. PAUL grew up in Montreal, Canada,
and studied at McGill University. Having received his B.Sc. in
1979 and his MD CM medical degree in 1983, he then went on to
train as a pediatrician at the Montreal Children's Hospital from
1983 to 1987. DR. PAUL returned to the Montreal Children's Hospital
in 1990, becoming not only the founder and director of the hospital's
Asthma Centre and Pediatric Consultation Centre, but also a much
sought-after lecturer on asthma and other pediatric issues to
parents' organizations and health professionals across North America
and Europe.
Because the successful treatment of asthma is so dependent on
home monitoring and control, DR. PAUL long ago saw this field
as one where improved patient education could have a tremendous
impact. And indeed, this has proven to be the case. Thanks in
large measure to an emphasis on patient education, the Asthma
Centre at the Montreal Children's Hospital has sustained an exceptional
success rate, and has been used as a model for other asthma clinics
nationwide.
DR. PAUL's Vision: Extending the Benefits of
Health Education
With his accomplishments in the treatment of asthma, DR. PAUL
envisioned that the benefits of education could be extended to
many other areas of child health and wellness, and to many more
people. It was this vision that inspired DR. PAUL to become a
major writer/publisher/producer of multi-format health and wellness
resources. As a pediatrician, producer, musician, entrepreneur,
and family man, DR. PAUL has been able to blend his skills and
evolve into an extremely talented and versatile producer of health
communication productions to both the public and health-care professionals
in any and all media formats - ranging from books, video, CD audio,
CD ROM, DVD, cassettes, radio, television and internet.
DR. PAUL: The Musician/Producer/Broadcaster
who became a Pediatrician
Beginning as a professional drummer in his mid teens and performing
with several bands both live and in studio, DR. PAUL's journey
to his present vision actually preceded his medical career. In
fact, playing music financed his way through medical school. The
recording of his first album in 1977 stirred his interest in production,
and in 1985, he purchased a state of the art sound recording studio
- all this while he was a resident in pediatrics. DR PAUL started
his own record company, producing artists and marketing and distributing
records and videos worldwide. During his last year in residency,
he produced a song called "For The Children", as a fund-raiser.
Subsequently, in 1987, he signed an exclusive distribution deal
with RCA (BMG) Records. DR PAUL released several major artists,
and gained much experience in the industry. Success in many areas
of the music industry, combined with his developing medical career
and his determination to promote health education, prompted DR.
PAUL to merge his medical and technical talents into the DR. PAUL
CHILD HEALTH AND WELLNESS INFORMATION PROJECT, an endeavor that
reflects his commitment to offering practical, professional, and
trustworthy health information. All while practicing medicine,
DR. PAUL has been exceptional at providing the best patient care
and still producing health information. For example, through his
physician-operated health communications company, Autograph Communications
Inc., DR PAUL has produced and manufactured well over 175 productions
(on various media formats, mostly video) aimed at health professionals
and the public. He has been entrusted with acclaimed projects,
such as:
- Wellness for Mothers to Be and Best For
Baby, A Healthy First Year, videos distributed for free across
Canada by a major pharmaceutical company
- Understanding Ear Infections, A video guide
for parents a highly acclaimed video, distributed across Canada
- Pioneering one of the first ever CD ROM's
on interactive case studies in medicine, which merged sophisticated
medical issues with video, audio and graphic technology
DR. PAUL has been able to extract from his experiences
each of the necessary skills to realize a vision of producing
practical and trustworthy health information. While still being
a model husband, father and physician, he has been able to effectively
manage his time, merge his self-taught talents, and produce information
with accuracy and with the credibility, confidence and comfort
as a theme to all of his productions. The potential social impact
is enormous, as the need for accurate and empathetic health content
is huge. Thus the DR.PAUL web site, in collaboration with Universal Health Communications Inc.,
is just another of his most recent productions on health information
to families worldwide.
A Healthy Future
Due in part to the rapid pace of medical discovery,
and a growing movement towards prevention, wellness and self-management
- health care consumers and professionals alike are hungry for
up-to-date information on treatment options and healthy lifestyle
choices.
With the advent of the information age, content-on-demand, and
a multimedia-savvy public, DR. PAUL sees unprecedented opportunities
to reach even more parents, children and professionals with entertaining
and practical educational health resources. Propelled by this
challenge, Dr. Paul's experience, expertise and vision help lead
the way towards an informed and healthy future. |
