SAMUEL
FREEMAN, MD

I practice social pediatrics in Montreal, Canada. I am also a Certified Integral Coach trained by Convivium/New Ventures West.

​

My writing explores the intersection of medicine with politics, society, and culture. I was a finalist for the Missouri Review's 2022 Perkoff Prize for nonfiction writing on health and medicine. My articles have appeared in the Washington Post, Huffington Post, Stat News, La Presse and the Montreal Gazette, among others. I am currently at work on a novel. You can find links to my writing here.

​​

For two years, I interviewed interesting people in health and medicine about their work, ideas and experiences. The result of those conversations was my podcast, Practicing. 

​

I have worked as a community and hospital-based pediatrician in Montreal and in Inuit communities in Northern Quebec as part of the Northern and Regions Child Health Program of the Montreal Children's Hospital.

I trained in medicine at Université de Montréal and in pediatrics at the Montreal Children's Hospital/McGill University. I have a BA in economics from Yale University.
