Biography

Dr. Gisèle Bourgeois-Law is the Faculty Liaison between UBC CHES (Centre for Health Education Scholarship) and the Island Medical Program (IMP).  Her role involves facilitating opportunities for clinician teachers in the IMP to engage in educational scholarship, integrating a community of IMP medical education scholars with CHES, and supporting scholars in career goal advancements.  After graduating from the University of Manitoba, Gisèle obtained her CCFP followed by her FRCSC in Obstetrics and Gynecology.  Her practice career was spent as a community-based obstetrician with a strong interest in teaching.  Gisèle served for 10 years as the Director of Clinician Assessment Programs at the University of Manitoba, where she was responsible for the assessment and remediation of physicians in difficulty identified by various regulatory authorities.  That program evolved over the years to include the assessment of both generalists and specialist IMG’s for entry into practice.

Gisèle joined UBC as Associate Dean Professional Development in 2008, a position she held until 2014. She is currently working on her PhD in Health Professions Education through Maastricht University with Glenn Regehr, Pim Teunissen and Lara Varpio as her supervisors.
