Meet our team!
Michelle N. Joseph
@MichelleJoMD
My work as an academic trauma and orthopedic surgeon in global surgery and social change has involved building ambitious multi-study equity projects. I am passionate about utilising data to tell the stories of the inequities we witness and leveraging these findings to create and sustain systemic change. I aspire to always think outside the box and reach for better than good enough.

Her involvement in global surgery started four years ago, when she initiated a collaboration between the Center for Global Surgery at the McGill University Health Centre and the National Trauma and Orthopedic Research Hospital in Mongolia, her home country. She is passionate about capacity building, equity, and youth empowerment. If she is not working at the hospital or doing research, you can find her on a basketball court!
