Chantalle Grant

Dr. Chantalle Grant is a trauma and acute care surgeon at Vancouver General Hospital. She completed her surgical residency at the University of Alberta and her fellowship in trauma and acute care surgery at the University of Toronto. She also holds a Master of Science in clinical epidemiology from the University of Alberta.

Dr. Grant’s research focuses on strengthening trauma care systems and improving patient outcomes both locally and globally. Her work spans multiple domains, including protocol development, ethical considerations in global surgery and health systems strengthening in low-resource settings. She has played a key role in evaluating and promoting the adoption of Massive Hemorrhage Protocols across Ontario, and has contributed to a comprehensive scoping review of ethical challenges in global surgery.

A significant aspect of her work involves trauma data systems. Dr. Grant has led initiatives to implement and sustain trauma registries in low- and middle-income countries, including the design and assessment of a mobile trauma registry app tailored for these contexts. Additionally, she has investigated strategies for risk mitigation in older trauma patients, including the use of high-risk medications, helping to inform safer prescribing practices in this vulnerable population. Through these research contributions, Dr. Grant remains committed to advancing evidence-based trauma care and promoting equitable access to surgical services worldwide.
