Welcome to Season 4!
On this episode of EyeCan, we are pleased to introduce our listeners to the topic of Sustainability in Ophthalmology, with guest Dr. Marie-Claude Robert, a cornea specialist in Montréal.
Dr. Robert has a busy practice spanning the full scope of corneal diseases in children and adults. She trained at the University of Ottawa (undergraduate and MD), the Université de Montréal (residency, MSc) and Harvard University (fellowship). She is the director of clinical research at both CHUM and CHU Sainte-Justine.
Dr. Robert tries to bring environmental concerns to the forefront when making decisions. She has been vegan for over 25 years, commutes on her bike or public transportation and tries to inspire others to do the same. She has presented to Quebec ophthalmologists on the environmental impact of cataract surgery and has initiated a green committee at the CHUM. She has three young children for whom she hopes will grow into engaged adults on a healthy planet.
