The University of Manitoba celebrates
Dr. Marcia Anderson, who was recently named
Physician of the Year by Doctors Manitoba.
The vice-dean of Indigenous health, social justice
and anti-racism in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences
at the University of Manitoba is recognized for her
service to Indigenous people and other communities.
Throughout the pandemic, Cree-Anishinaabe alum
Dr. Anderson has been a trusted voice on fighting
COVID-19. From social media awareness videos
and media appearances to weekly panel discussions
through Winnipeg's Sunshine House, Dr. Anderson
works around the clock, sharing helpful and
accessible information about the virus.
She does this while continuing to work in public health,
seeing patients at Grace Hospital in the adult medicine
clinic, and leading anti-racism and equity-focused work
at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.
Her work at UM includes developing strategies to
implement the 94 Calls to Action and responding
to the Scarborough Charter, which seeks to address
anti-Black racism and promote Black inclusion
in Canadian higher education.
The University of Manitoba thanks Dr. Anderson
for her outstanding and continuing contributions.
