She's an MD, an MP and has an MBA. Now 42-year-old pediatric orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kellie Leitch has another title, though it doesn't start with \"M\": Cabinet minister. In his recent Cabinet shuffle, Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed Leitch, who was elected as the member of Parliament for Simcoe-Grey (Ontario) in 2011, to the positions of minister of labour and minister of status of women. Leitch: I do call, so what typically happens is that I do teaching rounds in the morning [several times a week] from seven, seven-thirty until eightthirty, nine o'clock, and through the day I am covered by another surgeon, from nine until four or five o'clock. And then I do call in the evening. During typical workday hours, I'm on Parliament Hill or at my department or with constituents in my riding. Then, after hours, I'm on call, so I might find myself, at seven or eight o'clock at night, fixing a child's elbow or femur. Also, I do call for the majority of the day on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday when I'm on call [one weekend every six or seven weekends]. CMAJ: What are your long-term goals for your political career? Leitch: At the moment, I'm just delighted to have been asked to be a member of the Cabinet. I'm delighted with my new role. I have a lot to learn, so I'll stay focused on this for right now.
