I practice General Internal Medicine at the Toronto General Hospital and serve as the Associate Dean, Inclusion and Diversity, as well as the Interim Vice Dean, Strategy at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
As a mixed Anishinaabe physician and medical educator, and an education researcher at the Wilson Centre, my focus is on integrating Indigenous and critical perspectives from the social sciences into medical education as well as on organization change and system transformation for cultural safety in healthcare.
