Flordeliz (Gigi) Osler is an internationally renowned surgeon specializing in Otolaryngology, as well as a dedicated advocate for health and health care. She was appointed to the Senate of Canada by the office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in September 2022.

Senator Osler is not only a role model for medical learners across Canada, but also voiced concerns for health care system reforms. She is an avid volunteer annually training other surgeons in Africa, delivering medical equipment and training to Vietnam, and raising awareness of the health impacts of climate change in Canada.

As the president of the Canadian Medical Association, she championed principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion within medicine, which are all values that YPM strives for.
