Dr. Naminder Sandhu

Dr. Naminder Sandhu is a born and raised Calgarian and proud daughter of Punjabi immigrants who practices Pediatric Emergency Medicine at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor with the University of Calgary and an active educator at the undergraduate and postgraduate medical education levels with over a decade of teaching experience. She is a respected leader having served as PEM subspecialty residency program director for numerous years and more recently as interim section chief. She is an active member of various committees supporting the Department of Pediatrics with her growing professional interests lying in the spheres of equity/diversity/inclusivity; physician mentorship; and burnout/wellness.

She serves as a director on the board of Canadian Women in Medicine, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women thrive both personally and professionally. As a lifelong learner, Naminder is pursuing training in functional medicine on the side and recently received her certification as a yoga teacher who offers her skills to her colleagues to promote self-care since the COVID-19 pandemic. She was raised to value community engagement and serves as a board member of Between Friends Calgary, a local agency benefiting people with disabilities. A life in medicine thus far has been a challenging one, and the recent pandemic has renewed her mission to find fulfillment and value in our communities, connection, and ourselves. I have the pleasure of sitting down with her today to hear her journey through medicine.
