Bio
Dr. Michel J Gauthier graduated from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Sherbrooke in 1985. During the first years of his practice, he focused on emergency medicine and hospitalization. He quickly developed an interest in sports medicine and occupational medicine.
In 1992, he established the Musculoskeletal Clinic (CMS) at the Pierre Boucher Hospital. In 1994, he founded the Centres de Médecine Industrielle (CMI-Montérégie and CMI-Ville-Saint-Laurent), to which several branches were added over the following years.
As a pioneer in his field, Dr Gauthier developed a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, as well as various medical specialists (sports physicians, occupational physicians, physiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons).
He graduated from the University of Montreal in Insurance Medicine and Expertise, and has acted as a speaker and expert witness in a large number of litigation cases (1995-2008).
Today, he works as a clinician and medical director at the CMI Clinic in Longueuil.
