Mark H. Sherman
Professor
Division of Endocrinology & Metabolism
McGill University
Canada
Biography
I graduated Medicine from McGill University in 1987, followed by Internal Medicine residency and Chief Medical Residency at the Jewish General Hospital (Montreal) and Endocrinology at McGill University. I did an apprenticeship in the Lipid Clinic at the Royal Victoria Hospital (MUHC) and have since 1993 been its director. I have been director of the Metabolic Day Centre at the MUHC since 2008, and was interim director of Endocrinology and Metabolism from 2012 through 2016. I am Royal College certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, and National Lipid Association (NLA) certified as a diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology.
Research Interest
Most of my time is spent as a clinician. I see patients for all endocrine disorders; notably diabetes and thyroid disorders, but my major focus is in the MUHC Lipid Clinics, which I direct. Being a clinician allows me to see fascinating clinical cases. A substantial amount of my time also goes into clinical teaching in Lipid and Endocrinology clinics and the in-patient consultation service and at McGill University to first year medical students. I am currently involved as PI or co-PI in a number of clinical trials with lipid-lowering and anti-diabetic agents. I am also investigating some of the advanced lipid effects of bariatric surgery, and I collaborate with colleagues in Cardiology, Clinical Epidemiology, Pneumology and Hepatology on lipid and metabolic studies.
