Sarah Giles

Class of 2018

Dr. Sarah Giles is a Canadian-trained family/emergency room doctor with a diploma in tropical medicine. In her eleventh year of practice, Giles’s interest in neglected populations has taken her to remote areas of Canada, Australia, and into conflict zones with Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders. A board member of Canadian Doctors for Medicare, Sarah is fascinated by factors that influence health policy, access to medications, Indigenous health, medical politics, and medical innovation. She is thrilled to be putting her English literature courses to work 20 years after her undergraduate Neuroscience career advisor told her to take more “practical” courses!
