He has published 18 books, including Treatable and Potentially Preventable Dementias (2018) and over 800 frequently-cited scientific articles. He received the Order of Ontario and was inducted into the Order of Canada.

Women’s health pioneer Dr. May Cohen will soon join other luminaries in the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. Cohen entered medicine at a time when less than 10% of graduating physicians were female and textbook medical research was based on a 70kg male body. She later went on to shatter that paradigm, co-founding Canada’s first Women’s Health Office at McMaster University, as well as the Women’s Health InterSchool Curriculum Committee for Ontario medical schools. Cohen joins CMAJ reporter Lauren Vogel to reflect on the changing status of women in medicine.

The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame will soon honour Dr. Mark Wainberg for his achievements in HIV research and AIDS advocacy. From the initial identification of 3TC, one of the most widely used HIV treatments, to drawing unprecedented attention to global disparities in access to antiretrovirals as president of the International AIDS Society, Dr. Wainberg's work has helped save millions of lives worldwide. In this podcast, he joins CMAJ reporter Lauren Vogel to reflect on his legacy and new work towards a cure.
