Bryan G. Garber, M.S.M., C.D.
Vanier, Ontario
Physician Bryan Garber was instrumental in shaping the Canadian Armed Forces’ approach to treating patients with blast injuries caused by improvised explosive devices. As a researcher and an international panel leader, he honed the guidelines for treating mild traumatic brain injuries in military operational settings and during the recovery period. The results have yielded increased confidence among front-line medical staff encountering injuries not seen for a generation, as well as improved care for wounded military personnel.
