Background

About Amanda Santoro

I am a medically trained professional with years of experience in emergency care and acute clinical decision-making, now based in Canada and actively expanding my expertise toward leadership roles in the healthcare industry. Throughout my medical career in Brazil, I handled high-acuity emergencies with confidence, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and prioritized ethical, patient-centered care. Since relocating to Quebec, I have complemented my medical background with training in communication, customer service, and administrative operations—developing a unique skill set that blends clinical knowledge with systems thinking and cross-sector adaptability. Fluent in English, French, and Portuguese, I am passionate about clear, empathetic communication—both with patients and colleagues. My background as a published writer reflects my ability to translate complex ideas into accessible messages, a skill I believe is vital for medical affairs, public education, and interprofessional collaboration. Currently, I am seeking Associate or Medical Director opportunities across the health ecosystem—including pharmaceutical, medtech, healthtech, and hospital-based environments—where I can contribute my international perspective, leadership potential, and commitment to improving outcomes through both evidence and empathy. Open to roles that value: Strategic insight grounded in real-world clinical practice Strong communication and ethical leadership Creative problem-solving in high-stakes environments Fluency in multicultural and multilingual contexts Adaptability to Canadian and global healthcare frameworks Let’s connect if you’re building teams that value vision, versatility, and a human approach to healthcare transformation.
