Join us this week where USask anesthesia PGY5 residents (and soon to be staff) Drs. Alixe Pellerin, Alison Knapp, and Angela Hodgson, as well as anesthesia PGY1 Dr. Nigel Hey, discuss their journey through residency over the last 5 years.
Dr. Alixe Pellerin was born and raised in Saskatoon. Prior to medicine, she worked as an emergency room nurse. She is the founder of "Airway, Breathing, Coffee", a free anesthesia medical education site focused on infographic creation. When she isn’t working, Alixe loves baking, taking her dogs for long walks, and cooking with her husband.
Dr. Alison Knapp is a PGY5 anesthesia resident at the University of Saskatchewan. She completed medical school in Toronto, and will be joining the USask Department of Anesthesia as a new staff in July of 2025.
Dr. Angie Hodgson is a current R5 anesthesia resident at usask. She will be working in Saskatoon as an anesthesiologist starting in July, and is excited to join the awesome group we have here. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors, running, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family, and her partner, Preston.
Dr. Nigel Hey is a first year anesthesia resident here at the USASK Saskatoon site. He was born and raised in Saskatoon, but did the majority of his medical school in Regina. His medical interests include palliative care and ICU. Outside of work, Nigel enjoys exercising, playing sports, and prioritizing time with friends and family.
