Dr. Tamara Yee currently does not have a biography.

Dr. Lenka Stafl is an Adult Endocrinology and Metabolism resident physician at the University of Calgary. She has always been passionate about serving her fellow resident physicians. Inspired by her amazing colleagues, she wishes to give back through leadership and advocacy. This is her second time serving on the PARA Executive Board as the Calgary and Southern Alberta Ambassador.

Lenka aims to bring positive energy and clear communication skills to the position to advocate for and elevate the resident physician voice at local and provincial tables. Her goal is to optimize the working and learning environment so that resident physicians in Alberta can thrive. She looks forward to hearing from her colleagues to best champion the resident physician perspective.

In her time off, Lenka can be found hiking with her mini donkeys, eating ice cream or trail riding mules in the backcountry with her husband and two children—all backcountry adventures are better with donkeys. Her favorite mule is named Strawberry Blossom, an absolutely awesome saddle mule. She also enjoys archery and gardening.
