Dr. Michelle Sholzberg received her MDCM and residency training in Internal Medicine at McGill University and she completed additional postgraduate training in Hematology at the University of Toronto. She has also completed a research hemostasis fellowship in Toronto and internationally. Dr. Sholzberg has a Master of Science from the University of Toronto in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Care Research and was awarded the Claire Bombardier award for career promise as a scientist.

Her research interests include inherited and acquired disorders of hemostasis. Currently, she is involved in the study of: prediction tools for perioperative bleeding, the appropriateness of coagulation testing, the intersection of women’s health and bleeding disorders, COVID-19 coagulopathy and new treatments for immune thrombocytopenia. Importantly, she is co-principal investigator with Dr. Mary Cushman and Dr. Peter Juni on the RAPID Trial which will evaluate the efficacy and safety of therapeutic versus prophylactic dose heparin for COVID-19 coagulopathy.

She has collaborated locally, nationally and internationally with prominent researchers on the risks, diagnosis and treatment of VTE, and she has presented and published widely in this area. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, she has been actively involved in investigating how COVID-19 and coagulopathy is affecting patients both in her own institution and worldwide; she has published on the rates of VTE and COVID19 and how that correlates with biomarkers such as D-dimer, conducted a global survey of anticoagulation practices among experts from 41 countries, helped create a COVID-19 and PE registry, and most recently, spearheaded the PERT Consortium Position Paper on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism During the COVID-19 Pandemic. Through lecturing, research, and written works, she has sought to improve the care of patients with VTE and advance the understanding and treatment of this medical condition.
