Gloria Vazquez Grande

I am a Critical Care specialist from Spain who came to Canada in 2014 to pursue additional research training. I completed my Critical Care Specialty at Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid). Critical Care in Spain is a full primary specialty (no background specialty), it is a 5-year program with a mixed training between Medicine and Anesthesia and 2.5 years in Critical Care. 

After finishing my Critical Care residency, I worked as an attending physician at Hospital Universitario de Getafe, with Dr. Andres Esteban’s group. Currently I am working at the University of Manitoba. I completed my Master of Science in Medicine at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in 2013 and I am currently completing a PhD in Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba under Dr. Anand Kumar’s supervision. 

I have joined Drs. Zarychanski, Kumar and Fergusson in the HALO International Trial where I will facilitate international collaboration and will serve as a liaison with Spanish-speaking colleagues and sites participating in the HALO clinical trial.
