Presenter: Dr. Yogi Sehgal CCFP (EM)

Yogi Sehgal was born and raised in Ottawa.  He completed undergrad and Medical School in Ottawa (way back in 1996) and completed a Rural Family Medicine residency in Northwestern Ontario in 1998 via McMaster’s Family Medicine North program (which is now part of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine).  He started out doing rural medicine locums in various parts of Ontario and BC, settling in Sioux Lookout, in Northwestern Ontario from 2000 to 2010, doing a full-service practice, including Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics, Stress Testing and more.  Relocating to Fredericton in 2010 with his wife, Lynne, who is a nurse practitioner,  he started as a family physician at the Centre de Santé Noreen-Richard, improving access to health care for the francophone population of the Fredericton region, while doing part-time Emergency Medicine.  In 2014, after the birth of his second child, he switched to full time Emergency Medicine and received the Certificate of Added Competence in Emergency Medicine from the College of Family Physicians of Canada in 2019.  He is now the father of three kids:  Ori, Kéo and Talika, ages 10, 9 and 7.

His special interests include Evidence-Based Medicine, advocacy, music, hockey, cross country skiing and reading among other things.  He also has been doing the physician scheduling for the Emergency Department in Fredericton and Oromocto, so has been acutely aware of and involved in the current physician and nursing shortages.  He looks forward to retiring one day, but in the mean time, would like to have a functional health care system to attend to his family and his community when needed…
