Resuscitation and Reanimation Fellowship | Department of Emergency Medicine | School of Medicine

Dr. Akshay Rajaram

Resuscitation and Reanimation Director

Established in 2008, the program was the first of its kind in North America. We are proud of the more than 55 graduates who have trained with us and who now practice across the world. Though the Fellowship has grown and evolved, our goal remains the same: to advance physicians’ understanding and practice of resuscitation medicine.

2026 is special for several reasons. First, I have stepped into the Program Director role with an opportunity to build on the foundational work of Drs. Szulewski and Howes. Second, we have introduced several changes to the curriculum that will strengthen our mission in providing an outstanding Fellowship experience.

If you’re looking for a challenge and an opportunity to join a high performing group passionate about resuscitation and critical care, please download our brochure or reach out.

Resuscitation and Reanimation Fellows

Dr. Leah Allen

Leah was raised in Windsor, ON, completed an Engineering degree at Waterloo, then made her way west to Calgary for a Master’s degree. She completed her undergraduate medicine degree at Queen’s, then fell in love with EM and the Queen’s EM community. Outside of trying to be a good FRCPC EM resident, she is interested in low-resource emergency medicine, simulation, medical education and trauma.

When not in the hospital you can find Leah frequenting the local CrossFit gym (along with other Queen’s residents), taking her husky (Nimbus) for hikes, or paddleboarding Lake Ontario. Vacation time usually involves trips to the West Coast for snowboarding, or hiking various regions in the world.
