Canadian UQ medical school graduate practicing in Ottawa
Meet former OzTREKK student and UQ medical school graduate Dr Emma Ferguson, who began her journey to study medicine in 2011. Like most medical school graduates, Emma represents the next generation of global health leaders who are passionate about creating change.
Since graduating, Emma has settled in Ottawa, Ontario, and is now working at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in Emergency Medicine. Emma says she is grateful for the ups and downs she experienced while studying abroad, and attributes the close friendships and quality of education she received at UQ for her success today.
“We didn’t go there [UQ] expecting to get a red carpet roll-out to return to Canada. We went there expecting to work. And we also had a lot of fun.”
