Dr. Simone Schiavo completed both his medical degree and Anesthesia and Intensive care residency in Modena (Italy). He worked as a staff in a busy community hospital in Parma (Italy), which included a medical pre-hospital emergency service and a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Unit, where he became interested in HBOT, and later obtained a master's degree in Hyperbaric and Diving Medicine in Padova (Italy). His interest in broadening his knowledge and gaining experience on Hyperbaric Medicine, led him to purse a fellowship in Anesthesia and HBOT at Toronto General Hospital first, and subsequent clinical fellowships at T Western Hospital. Currently at TWH, he's combining intensive clinical exposure to regional and neuro-anesthesia to his never-ending passion for HBOT, focusing on research on new possible applications of Hyperbaric Medicine.
