Physician changemaker: Dr. Gigi Osler

This profile introduces Dr. Gigi Osler, an outspoken advocate on the issue of equity and intersectionality. She doesn’t shy away from tackling topics such as the #MeToo movement or bullying, intimidation and harassment, which she says still prevail in the medical profession. She works to give women and other under-represented groups in medicine a stronger voice and a seat at the table in medical leadership, academia and administration.
