How to Communicate with an Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr. Drew Bourret is originally from Thunder Bay, Ontario. After completing an Honours Bachelor undergraduate degree in Medical Sciences from Western University, and a Master’s of Science in PT from the University of Toronto, he was awarded a Doctorate of Science in PT and became a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT). He has taught at Dalhousie University School of Physiotherapy since 2016, and has been an instructor in the Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy I, II, and III courses since 2021.

Having worked clinically in musculoskeletal physiotherapy for 13 years in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and New Zealand, Drew contributes a wide range of unique clinical skills and experiences. He has a passion for working with students and teaching, with a particular focus on critical thinking and evidence-based practice. When you don't see him involved with physiotherapy, you can find him traveling the world, practicing his Muay Thai kickboxing, or more likely, at a gaming or comic book convention, as he is a true nerd at heart.

James Campbell is an orthopedic surgeon based in Toronto, Ontario. Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, he moved to London, Ontario to complete a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and nutrition, followed by Masters of Science in Physiotherapy at UofT. After working for a few years, he returned to medical school at Northern Ontario School of Medicine and completed his orthopedic surgery training at the University of Toronto. His fellowship training will be in sports medicine surgery.

James stays involved with teaching med students, orthopedic surgery residents and physiotherapy students. When not working, James enjoys spending time in the gym/powerlifting and playing a variety of sports, hopefully staying out of the surgeon's office.
