Biography: 

Originally from Southern Ontario, Dr. Carmen Mueller completed medical school and general surgery residency training at the University of Toronto. She came to Montreal to complete one year of specialty training in Minimally Invasive Surgery under renowned mentors Dr. Gerald Fried and Dr. Liane Feldman. During her fellowship training, she developed advanced expertise in laparoscopic (keyhole surgery) for hernia, colorectal, spleen, adrenal, bariatric, gastric and esophageal disorders, as well as learned advanced endoscopic techniques.

Following her fellowship, Dr. Mueller completed a Masters of Education degree at 捆绑SM社区. Her area of research focused on assessments of endoscopic proficiency.

Dr. Mueller joined 捆绑SM社区 as Assistant Professor of Surgery in July, 2014 and is the recipient of the 3-year Tomlinson Award supporting new academic faculty.

This unit sees over 250 new cases of gastroesophageal cancer each year, making it one of the highest volume foregut surgery centers in North America.

Having a keen interest in surgical education, Dr. Mueller assumed the role of Specialty Director of Education (Surgery) at the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning at 捆绑SM社区 in October, 2015. As demand for simulation training in surgery continues to increase, the mandate of this role is to enhance and develop simulation training programs offered across surgical specialties at the university.
