BioDr. Caissie's career spans 15 years in the healthcare field both as a surgeon and researcher but also as an innovator and entrepreneur in health tech.
In 2022, having been granted an Extraordinary Ability and Achievement EB1A status from the United-States Government for his contributions to sciences and business, Dr Caissie was then offered a Scholar position at Stanford University.
Dr Caissie was a clinical lecturer at both the University of Montreal and McGill University, and former Chief of Maxillofacial Surgery at Montreal’s HSC. He is a National Board Examiner and a Fellow of the Royal College in his specialty. Committed to advancing research in the field, he has published papers on both nerve regeneration and clinical maxillofacial surgery.
