March 16, 2020 Dear patients, With the need to slow down the infection rate of COVID-19 and out of an abundance of caution for your health, we will be transitioning to more virtual care (phone) appointments when possible. For any booked non-urgent appointments, particularly for patients aged 70 years or older, patients with complex medical conditions or who are immunocompromised, we will contact you beforehand to determine the safest method for your appointment. Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented time. We will do our best to ensure your health care needs are met.

After completing Rhinology fellowship training BC, I have been in practice in Winnipeg since 1998. Along with being a busy ENT (Otolaryngology-Head and Neck) surgeon in Winnipeg, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba and have helped train numerous medical students and residents. Some of my current, local, provincial, and national medical leadership positions include:
As a dedicated advocate for global surgery and the promotion of safe, accessible surgical care, I volunteer annually on surgical missions to low and lower-middle income countries. This volunteer work inspires me to work harder for my patients and the health care system. I am also passionate about physician health and wellness and have worked to support the health and well-being of doctors. Dr. F. Gigi Osler For CMA inquiries please email mediainquiries@cma.ca
