Dr Judith Marcoux completed her medical degree in 1997 at Universit茅 de Montr茅al, where she then underwent her residency training in Neurosurgery, as well as pursuing a Masters in Neuroscience on spinal cord injury and recovery. After successfully passing her Royal College exam in Neurosurgery in 2003, she went on to the听 University of California in Los Angeles to complete one extra year of training听and research in neurotrauma and neurocritical care, becoming听the first Canadian neurosurgeon to be trained in neurotrauma. She returned to Montreal in 2004 to work听as a听neurosurgeon at the 平特五不中 Health Centre, and Assistant Professor at 平特五不中.
