About
Hi, I’m Etienne. My path to ultrasound education wasn’t exactly a straight line, but I think that’s what makes my approach a bit different. Before diving into medicine, I spent my time as a Continuous Improvement Specialist with a degree in Business Administration. When I started med school at the Université de Montréal, I discovered ultrasound early on and it was an immediate "lightbulb" moment for me. I saw it as the ultimate tool for improvement in healthcare—a way to see more clearly, act more decisively, and ultimately, take better care of patients right at the bedside. That passion led me to get involved with the Groupe d’intérêt en ultrasonographie de l’Université de Montréal (GIUSUM), where I now serve as Co-President. My goal there, and as an instructor, is to take the "intimidation factor" out of the technology. I love helping students move past the technical hurdles so they can start using ultrasound for what it's meant for: making better clinical decisions.
