Conor completed his graduate studies at the University of Victoria, earning an MSc and PhD in Medical Physics. He then performed a Medical Physics residency in Halifax, Nova Scotia with the Nova Scotia Health Authority. Upon completion of the residency he continued to work in Halifax for several months before moving to a temporary position in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Finally he began a full-time position at the Jack Ady Cancer Centre in Lethbridge, Alberta in September of 2019. Conor enjoys working in a community setting while also being able to contribute to the research and education programs at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and the University of Calgary.
