Dr Oliveira chose neuropsychology in order to understand brain-behavior relationships in the context of various medical conditions. He was influenced as a young child by a childhood friend who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Dr Oliveira takes a special interest in research, including the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. In his free time, he enjoys reading, spending time with his children and wife, exploring new places and deepening his spiritual faith. Helping others drew me to neuropsychology, a field where I can help an individual understand themselves from various intersecting identities, and from the biopsychosocial model.

Dr Kaur chose a career in medicine after watching her grandmother deal with the pain and side effects of Rheumatoid arthritis.

She is committed to a pragmatic, multidisciplinary approach to improving the quality and delivery of health care.
