Congratulations to  on receiving the 2025 Killam Annual Professorship from the Killam Trusts.

Dr. Mahua Ghosh, MBBS, PhD, FRCPC, is an associate professor with the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism and the program director for the Adult Endocrinology Residency Training Program with the Department of Medicine. Dr. Ghosh works on applied integration of social accountability concepts to bring about system level changes that advance endocrine training and promote knowledge mobilization. She utilizes medical education as the tool to improve access to care and to make an impact in the real world by empowering primary care providers and patients.

Following successful local implementation at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, she played a pivotal role nationally to introduce triage, virtual care and telephone consultation skills as core competencies for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada accredited programs to prepare future endocrinologists to deliver high quality remote care to regions of Canada, where specialty service is not readily available.

One of the first endocrinologists in Alberta to design and deliver structured education for primary care providers in gender affirming care, Dr. Ghosh expanded her advocacy by developing objectives of training to facilitate care for marginalized populations. While she leads clinical trials at the Alberta Diabetes Institute to evaluate medical interventions, she is dedicated to improving the lives of people with polycystic ovarian syndrome through her collaborative research community.

Committed to service, she partners with local, national and international experts to advance evidence-based practices and improve health outcomes of people living with chronic conditions.
