Biography  

Kevin is a second-year medical student at the University of Manitoba and a PhD Candidate with Dr. Todd Duhamel. His pursuits into Medicine and research have been driven by his goal to support better integration of primary preventative measures into healthcare -namely, through physical activity. Focusing his research on frailty in older adults and women's heart health, Kevin's leadership in the field is reflected by his invitation to present at international conferences, acting as a reviewer for high impact academic journals and his development of collaborations internationally. Kevin's research is supported by a CIHR Doctoral Award. Taking his knowledge beyond academia and into the community, Kevin has collaborated with local healthcare stakeholders, volunteered in local programs such as cardiac rehabilitation and often presents to the public. He has also worked to support future healthcare leaders by teaching at the U of M, leading teaching seminars at events like the Undergraduate Health Symposium, volunteering at CanU Reach, a program aimed at introducing youth to healthcare fields, and assisting with the development of a leadership course in transition to residency. Kevin represents his peers as an elected member of student government for both Medicine and Graduate Studies.
