Speaker: Dr. Michel Sourour

Dr. Michel Sourour obtained his medical degree from the University of Toronto, where he laid the foundation for his career. Following medical school, Dr. Sourour completed his residency in neurosurgery at McMaster University, where he also pursued a Master's degree in Clinical Epidemiology, further honing his research skills and expertise in evidence-based medicine.

Dr. Sourour then pursued specialized training through a fellowship at Toronto Western Hospital, focusing on skull base and neuro-oncology. During this time, he focused on complex surgical techniques and endoscopic surgical techniques as well as advances in neuromonitoring. In addition, he developed expertise in Gamma knife radiosurgery to allow a multifaceted approach for treatment of cranial malignancies. In addition, he was involved in the development and establishment of the Rapid Access In Neurosurgery (RAIN) clinic that focuses on providing rapid neurosurgical care and assessments for neurosurgical patients.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Sourour enjoys spending time with his wife Mary, daughter Amelia, and their beloved dog Toby. He finds relaxation and inspiration through traveling to new destinations and exploring the wonders of the underwater world through scuba diving.
