Nadine Caron, M.S.M.
Prince George, British Columbia

Dr. Nadine Caron is a strong advocate for culturally sensitive health care for Indigenous and rural Canadians. In 2014, she co-founded the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Excellence in Indigenous Health, which has yielded a legacy of research aimed at improving treatment for patients. She has helped shape public health policy and, as Canada’s first female Indigenous general surgeon, she serves as a positive role model for the next generation of Canadian doctors.
