Peacock \,CRGS\, Educator\n\nShort Biographies \nMr. Glenn Gabrielpillai : Mr. Glenn Gabrielpillai has been a credentialed sonographer for 8 years\, graduating in 2011 from the Michener Institute. He has worked at numerous sites across Ontario\, including hospitals and clinics. Glenn has also taught at the Canadian National Institute of Health as an instructor for their DMS program. I took an early interest in MSK ultrasound due to my previous credentialing in personal training and have pursued education in that regard. I have since run several workshops in MSK ultrasound\, both privately and with CNIH. \nMr. John R. Peacock: Mr. PEACOCK graduated with Dean’s Honour’s from MoHawk College from all Healthcare programs he attended\, including both Radiography and Diagnostic Medical Sonography. He is a past recipient\, of the Upjohn Ltd Award for Patient Care and the Toshiba Canada Ltd award for Outstanding Achievement in Ultrasound Imaging Procedures. John received invaluable clinical experience at the Henderson General Hospital (associated with the Regional Cancer Centre)\, St. Joseph’s Hospital and McMaster University Medical Centre in Hamilton\, Ontario which is the reason he was sought out to set up and run the Community Based Ultrasound Program for Sioux Lookout Zone remote regions. On behalf of Health Canada he was recruited by former Zone Hospital\, and the University of Toronto’s Northern Medical Program in Sioux Lookout Ontario\, for a 3 month pilot project to set up the Community Outreach Ultrasound Program beginning February 1\, 1996. He decided to stay and work the program as both administrator and active sonographer because he saw the value of the program in saving mothers and their unborn children in this underserviced remote region. He worked full time for over twenty years to ensure the First Nation’s people in the Sioux Lookout Zone had quality Diagnostic Sonography in their communities\, reducing wait times and benefits similar to the rest of the country. He left that position in the spring of 2017 and now has time for his other passion of educating and spreading the word about Adverse Childhood Experiences and the effects trauma has on children and the adults they become on which he has a unique perspective working with this population.
