Please join us in congratulating Dr. Janet Tootoosis on her appointment as Vice-Dean Indigenous Health. Under her interim leadership, the college accomplished important milestones. We look forward to achieving many more over the next five years under her continued leadership.

I love my children. I tell them life is not just about them. It’s also about the people and community around them. I have 2 degrees, 1 is in immunology. I went to university for 11 years. I’m not sure if it means anything but my son is getting his 3rd shot, so will my daughter.
