Amelia completed her BA in History at the University of British Columbia, MSc in Global Health at McMaster, and medical school at Queen’s. A washed up college athlete, she chose orthopedics because of the physical, hands on nature of the specialty and its ability to improve people’s functional outcomes. During med school, Amelia grew to love the strong team based culture of the ortho program at Queen's and the veggie sandwich with hummus from the Aux cafe. Outside of work, she spends her time running the trails in Frontenac Park or at the Invista Centre with her senior hockey team.
