Get to Know Dr Muir
We had the pleasure of asking Dr Muir some personal and professional questions to give you insight into her passion and expertise:
We asked Dr Muir a few questions to get to know the person behind the profession:
Q1: Why Occupational and Environmental Medicine?
“I didn’t originally set out to become an OEP—I thought I’d be a surgeon! But after providing emergency medical services on remote oil rigs, I saw the enormous potential this specialty has to prevent harm and influence systems. I also love working with such a broad spectrum of people, from individual workers to senior policy makers.”
Q2: Career Highlight?
“It depends—receiving awards during my fellowship was certainly an honour. But I’d say the most meaningful moments have been advocating for workers with silicosis and helping to shape better protections through policy.”
Q3: What do you enjoy outside of work?
“Free time? Whats that? I have 2 young children so am kept busy. Days off are generally spent at the beach or camping. I try to find time to myself to get to the gym where I can! ”
Q4: Dream Dinner Guest?
“My closest friends. Their company, light-hearted and frivolous banter nourishes my soul”
Bonus questions:
Does pineapple ever grace your pizzas?
“With young kids, the Hawaiian is a staple—and it’s actually grown on me!”
Cats or dogs?
“Both! I have a dog, though sometimes I wish she was as low maintenance as a cat.”
Summer or winter?
“Definitely summer. All year round if possible.”
Something surprising about you?
“My non-work goal this year is to master walking handstands and bar muscle-ups at the gym.”
Ocean or bush?
“Tough choice—but if I had to pick one forever, the ocean has my heart.”
