Dr. Fay Strohschein completed her PhD in nursing at McGill University in 2020, with a joint focus on psychosocial oncology and aging.

She then pursued postdoctoral studies at the Faculty of Nursing, University of Calgary, where she held a CIHR Health System Impact Postdoctoral Fellowship in collaboration with the Cancer Strategic Clinical Network, Alberta Health Services.
Dr. Strohschein’s research interests grew from her clinical work with the Consultation Service for Senior Oncology Patients at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal.
