Benoît Des Roches
After a Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto and my medical degree at the University of Ottawa, I completed my specialty in Psychiatry at both McGill University and Université de Montréal in 1990. Throughout the nineties, I practiced medicine in a hospital setting and in a community clinic (CLSC), specializing in psycho-geriatrics.
In the early 2000s, I taught Psychiatry at Université de Montréal to mental health professionals and later on to residents in Family Medicine. Furthermore, I have been teaching CME since the early nineties to psychiatrists as well as to first-line physicians. Having worked as a community psychiatrist for 30 years, I specialize in Adult Mood and anxiety disorders, as well as ADHD.
Since 2011, I have worked in community Psychiatry in collaboration with the West-African NGO, Association St-Camille-de-Lellis, which cares for individuals suffering from neuro-psychiatric disorders. I have written a book about my experience doing Psychiatry in Africa that is about to be published.
