Dr. Hillary Steinhart is a Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. He also holds a faculty appointment at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Steinhart has had a very active medical practice for over 30 years. Over most of that time, his efforts have been focused almost exclusively on caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease and he has a very large practice of patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Dr. Steinhart’s research interests include the evaluation of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, meta-analysis and clinical trials methodology, disease severity evaluation and complications of inflammatory bowel. He has published over 180 research papers as well as two books on Inflammatory Bowel Disease for patients and families.
Dr. Steinhart is a past chair of the Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s Scientific and Medical Advisory Committee and a former recipient of that Foundation’s Research Leadership Award.
Dr. Iain Murray lead a dull existence until one day in 2014 when he became President of the OAG. He had three fun years of presidency, and five exhilarating years as OMA Section Chair for Gastroenterology. These heady days are now over, and he is now living a quiet, sedate life taking care of GI patients at the Intestinal Health Institute in Markham.
