Dr. François de Champlain completed his speciality in Emergency Medicine in 2003 at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University in Quebec, Canada. Since then, he has been working as an Emergency Physician and Trauma Team Leader at the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University Health Centre (MUHC). He completed a clinical research training with Harvard Medical School and is currently completing a Master in Health Leadership (IMHL) at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University.ÌýHis main areas of expertise are EMS, Mass Gathering events, Disaster Preparedness, Trauma and Resuscitation. He has been involved with ±«°ù²µ±ð²Ô³¦±ð²õ-²õ²¹²Ô³Ùé (Montreal EMS) as Assistant Medical Director and now serves on the Collège des MédecinsÌýEMS provincial advisory committee.ÌýOver the years, he has been the Medical Director for numerous endurance sporting events including the Montreal ITU Triathlon, the Mont-Tremblant IRONMAN and the Montreal Marathon.
