About

I'm an Emergency Physician, Trauma Team Leader, Assistant Professor at UWO and medical director at SkyCare, with a deep commitment to patient care, education, and system innovation. I’ve led high-stakes teams in emergency departments, mentored medical students and residents, and advocated for healthcare quality across institutions. As the Founder of mccQbank, a growing digital platform for MCCQE1 and NAC OSCE preparation, I’ve combined my frontline clinical insight with an entrepreneurial mindset to improve how international and Canadian medical graduates prepare for licensing in Canada. From adaptive learning tools to live mentorship and OSCE simulations, the platform is designed to level the playing field and support every candidate’s success. My work has been recognized through multiple awards, including excellence in emergency medicine and faculty education. I remain actively involved in shaping medical education nationally, serving as an examiner for OSCE and NAC OSCE exams and contributing to the continuous improvement of our training systems. Above all, I’m a proud father and believe deeply in mentorship, equity, and building systems that work—for patients, learners, and physicians alike.
