Dr. Clara Fallone received her BSc in Chemical Engineering with a Biomedical Option from the University of Alberta. After working a few years in industry, Dr. Fallone completed her PhD in Medical Physics at the University of Alberta. She went on to finish her residency with Dalhousie University and Nova Scotia Health in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dr. Fallone then returned to Alberta and joined AHS to work as a medical physicist at the Arthur J.E. Child Cancer Centre and the University of Calgary. Dr. Fallone serves on several international committees, including the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists Education Committee and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Brachytherapy Subcommittee.
