Biography: 

Dr. Janius Tsang obtained her medical degree from the University of Calgary in 2004 and then graduated from the McGill University Anesthesiology residency program in 2009. After a decade practicing in the community
setting, she returned to McGill University in 2021, where she completed a master’s degree in Surgical and Interventional Sciences with a Surgical Outcomes concentration in 2024. Her thesis project presents profiles of prehabilitation participants that are associated with decreased complication risk after colorectal surgery. Her interests lie in developing a prehabilitation-specific psychological intervention, defining resilience as a core construct for pre-operative risk stratification, and using cardiopulmonary exercise testing for risk stratification and exercise prescription.
