Biographie

Dr. Karin Fink is a clinician-researcher in palliative care. Her path to palliative care medicine and research has been a winding road: After completing a Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry (Université de Montréal), she engaged in her medical studies and family medicine training (Université de Montréal, GMF-U Verdun). Recently she graduated from the Enhanced Skills Training in Palliative Care (McGill University) and holds a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Epidemiology (McMaster University). She currently works as a palliative care physician at the McGill University Health Center providing inpatient palliative care and at GMF-U/CLSC Parc-Extension, where she teaches residents and provides palliative home care in the community. As a clinician-investigator, her goal is to understand and decrease barriers to home palliative care with the goal to improve the access and care quality patients with serious illness and their caregivers can receive in their homes.
