Gwyllyn Goddard

Physician, Science Team Leader, Entrepreneur, Agronomist

 

I was born and raised on the Saskatchewan prairies. After my training as an MOTP in the Canadian Forces at university and completing my family medicine residency at McGill in Montreal, Quebec, I had the privilege of helping mothers deliver almost 800 patients during my time in training. I also developed a passion for emergency room work and procedures.

I pursued further studies in an A4M fellowship to gain experience with bioidentical hormones, specifically working with patients who needed assistance with transitioning or required age-related hormone support for conditions like menopause management, hair loss, and male ED-related issues. As a family doctor, I took a keen interest in providing longitudinal care for individuals with comorbidities related to diabetes, obesity, and chronic disease management.

Throughout my career, I spent several years moonlighting in indigenous communities, international third-world disaster relief efforts, and rural settings. I practiced as a smaller-community emergency room physician and hospitalist, gaining valuable experience in diverse healthcare environments.

In the years following, I worked for approximately ten years in regular urban family practice, often stepping in as a locum from 2007 to 2015 to support other healthcare professionals. I then ventured into other business sectors, including cannabinoid medicine, where I assisted around 10,000 Canadians in their journey to cultivate and access their own medical cannabis.

Currently, I serve as the owner and science officer of 'Nutrilife Plant Products.' Outside of my medical career, I find joy in language studies, have a deep interest in science fiction, and strive to stay current with continuing professional development (CPD) coursework. This includes my studies for the USMLE American Certification, which allows me to travel and work in various countries. My professional goals revolve around practicing medicine and alleviating healthcare system burdens in Canada, along with contributing to healthcare efforts abroad.
