For our January student interview, I am pleased to welcome Michel, one of the most dedicated polymaths I have ever met. Thank you, Michel, for giving us a glimpse of the rich experiences you bring to the program!
Keep learning and become a lifelong learner. Your diploma is not an end by itself – this is when you start learning your profession.
-- Michel Deilgat
Hello! Please tell me a little bit about yourself.
My name is Michel Deilgat and I have been a part time student since September 2019 in the M.I.S. program. My background is in family medicine, but since I left the Canadian Armed Forces after 32 years, I moved to the field of public health, mainly in the infectious diseases / communicable diseases side of the house. In September 2019, I became the editor-in-chief of a biomedical journal, named Canada Communicable Disease Report (or CCDR) which is one of the two journals published by the Public Health Agency of Canada. I have several interests on the side as well.
