Dr. Kiana Lebel
Dr. Kiana Lebel is a resident radiologist at the Université de Montréal. Before studying medicine, Dr. Lebel completed two years of a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She then enrolled in the medical program at the Université de Sherbrooke at their satellite campus in Chicoutimi. There, she was able to get involved with vulnerable populations, such as First Nations, elderly people in isolation and homeless women.
This interest in equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) issues led her to publish, as first author, the very first literary review on diversity in Canadian radiology (The Status of Diversity in Canadian Radiology—Where we stand and what can we do about it?). This article was one of the catalysts that led to the creation of the CAR’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group.
This article also suggests increasing opportunities to expose medical students to radiology in order to ensure equitable representation in this speciality. It was with this goal in mind that she returned to Montreal as a resident radiologist and became the Medical Student Network (MSN) Coordinator for the 2021–2022 year to work with Canadian students from the 17 faculties of medicine. Among other projects, she developed the first mentorship network in radiology, which involves 60 residents and 60 medical students.
