Health

Dr. Caron was born and raised in Kamloops, B.C. Following her graduation from medical school, she moved to San Francisco to complete her postgraduate fellowship training in Endocrine Surgical Oncology at the University of California, San Francisco. However, Dr Caron's love for British Columbia brought her home and since January 2005, she has been working as a General and Endocrine Surgeon at the University Hospital of Northern B.C. as well as a tenure-track faculty member in UBC's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Surgery, and teaching in the Northern Medical Program. She has served on numerous committees, including the Province of British Columbia's Ministry of Health Advisory Committee on Provincial Health Goals (members selected by the Minister of Health for the Province of British Columbia); the B.C. Medical Association's Committee on Health Promotion; the Native Physicians Association of Canada; and she is currently the Chair of the B.C. Medical Association's Committee on Aboriginal Health.
