On January 01, as Montrealers celebrated the start of a new year, the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) created history when Liane Feldman became the first female surgeon-in-chief and medical director of the surgical mission for the medical centre.
“Dr. Feldman is a very talented and dedicated healthcare professional, educator, and researcher,” MUHC President Dr. Pierre Gfellar said in a statement. “She also happens to be the first woman ever appointed to this important position at the MUHC.”
For the last nine years, Dr. Feldma has directed the MUHC’s division of general surgery. As of January 01, she will be responsible for the organization of the MUHC clinical workload in the operating rooms, ambulatory clinics and emergency departments.
Dr. Feldman was raised in Montreal, studied at McGill, and has received several awards, including the Kathryn Rolph Award for the advancement of women in the department of surgery.
During an interview with CBC Montreal, Let’s Go, Dr. Feldman discusses the list of changes or improvements she would want to make:
