Before her acceptance into the inaugural class of physician assistants at McMaster in 2008, Maureen had a long career as an award-winning broadcast journalist for the CBC and TVOntario, including six years as the National Medical/Health Reporter for CBC News. She was the CBC’s lead reporter on SARS, the withdrawal of Vioxx and the controversy over HRT and mammography screening. She is still a frequent guest on CBC radio and television on medical topics and healthcare issues and enjoys finding ways to blend her two passions: journalism and medicine.
