Bernard Segal is a highly inter-disciplinary research engineer (Electrical Engineering, with a Master鈥檚 in Biomedical Engineering, and a PhD in Neurophysiology). He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology of McGill University. He is the Director of Research in Otolaryngology at McGill, and at the Jewish General Hospital. He is the Director of Graduate Studies in Otolaryngology at McGill. He has fostered safe wireless communion in health care by promoting safe wireless-interference-free co-existence (electromagnetic compatibility - EMC) of wireless sources and medical equipment. His efforts have stemmed from the collaborative research of his multi-centre (McGill, Concordia, University of Montreal), multi-disciplinary (engineering, medicine, rehabilitation medicine) research team. He heads the McGill Biomedical Group on Electromagnetic Compatibility. He has contributed to many medical EMC standards, policies, and recommendations. He has organized over 30 national and international conferences, workshops, and teaching sessions on EMC and wireless in health care.鈥�
