In a region where harsh conditions have led to shortages in medical personnel, Paul Stubbing's long-term commitment to medicine in Nunavut shines as an example of dedication. For the past three decades, this anesthesiologist and family physician has provided a full range of medical services to the people of Iqaluit and the Baffin region. He has been a steadfast advocate for quality health care in the North, and has been instrumental in training new doctors and health care workers and in encouraging them to stay in this region. Also highly involved in the community, he is greatly admired by the Inuit for his sensitivity to and appreciation of their culture, customs and language.
