Biographie: 

Dr Judith Marcoux completed her medical degree in 1997 at Université de Montréal, where she then underwent her residency training in Neurosurgery, as well as pursuing a Masters in Neuroscience on spinal cord injury and recovery. After successfully passing her Royal College exam in Neurosurgery in 2003, she went on to the  University of California in Los Angeles to complete one extra year of training and research in neurotrauma and neurocritical care, becoming the first Canadian neurosurgeon to be trained in neurotrauma. She returned to Montreal in 2004 to work as a neurosurgeon at the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Health Centre, and Assistant Professor at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ. Her practice has been centered mainly on the care of traumatic brain injury patients. She teaches neurosciences and neurotrauma at all levels of education in medicine, from first year students to senior residents. She was a member of the core committee for the Royal College examination for six years and is a member of the Neurosurgery Residency Program Committee at McGill. She is also an Associate Researcher at the MUHC-Research Institute (RI), primarily focusing her research on severe traumatic brain injury. She has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles on subjects related to seizure prophylaxis compliance, venous thromboembolic event prophylaxis timing with associated complications and effectiveness, accuracy of ventricular catheters insertion with the development of a new method to increase the accuracy, decompressive craniectomy implementation, management of anti-platelets and anti-coagulants in the setting of an acute traumatic subdural hematoma, factors influencing the performance of care in urgent trauma craniotomies, and more. Since 2017, she is also co-chair of the Research Ethics Committee for Neuroscience at the MUHC.
