Physician Geneviève Auclair spearheaded a successful campaign to recruit health care professionals to the Inuulitsivik Health Centre in Nunavik, and to introduce local youth to potential careers as doctors, nurses and technicians. During her tenure as chief of medicine, the number of permanent staff has increased significantly as new physicians and support workers arrive and opt to stay longer, resulting in more stable health care for the region’s residents.

This cause is very important to Geneviève and she was able to raise her classmate’s awareness of it during the EMBA McGill-HEC Montréal program.  Geneviève’s very different perspective on the world of management and on society in general greatly enriched the discussions within her class.

The entire EMBA McGill-HEC Montréal family is very proud and is thrilled that Geneviève is being recognized for her outstanding work.
