Marc Cherniwchan has had a career in emergency medicine for more than 35 years. Teaching and academics have had a prominent role in his practice. He has also been an assessment physician in Alberta’s Physician Health Program for over 10 years, coordinating care for doctors and their families in distress. His current academic interests are how physicians and learners process and manage difficult clinical and professional situations and how innovation can be fostered in challenging medical environments.
He has been a working artist since 1989, producing large-format photography and mixed-media pieces, with work on display in hospital and commercial spaces. He can often be found hunting for bugs and frogs in the forest with his granddaughter.
