Clarelle Gonsalves, BSc (Hons.), M.D.
Dr. Gonsalves was the Dahdaleh Institute's inaugural Planetary Health Intern where her research focused on the identification and assessment of key performance indicators related to planetary health. Her specific projects included exploring and defining existing key performance indicators (KPIs); identifying and proposing other KPIs for the "Lancet Countdown on the health and climate change” event in 2018; exploring and defining existing and proposed KPIs on the health impacts of climate change in relation to the Ecological FootPrint Project.
"My time at the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research allowed me to understand the intricate relationship between planetary health and local, national, and global health outcomes as well as better understand how to identify, modify, and measure key performance indicators that, when measured and intervened upon, have the potential to lead to sustainable change."
After completing a BSc (Hons.) in Biomedical Science at York University and an M.D. at McMaster University, Clarelle is currently a Paediatrics Resident at the University of Toronto. Based out of The Hospital for Sick Children, her current research is dedicated to standardizing and optimizing health outcomes for children with diverse medical presentations who do not readily have access to tertiary paediatric centres, with a clinical focus on developing medical spaces and curricula that foster sustainable and equitable healthcare delivery.
