DR STUART CARR

Dr Stuart Carr was born and raised in Canada, and has over 25 years of experience providing allergy and asthma services for communities in both Canada and the UAE. His primary clinical interests are paediatric asthma and food allergy. He started a private practice in Edmonton, Canada in 1998. His thriving group practice eventually formed the academic Division of Allergy and Immunology in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta in 2010, before they returned to private community-based practice to help meet the large clinical need of the region.

Dr Stuart also performed remote travel clinics in Yellowknife, Canada every few months between 2005 and 2018, providing much-needed allergy and asthma services for an under-serviced community. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alberta 1993. He then completed training in both Pediatrics and Clinical Immunology & Allergy at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, and was granted specialty certification by the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada after successfully completing examinations in Pediatrics in 1997 and Clinical Immunology & Allergy in 1998.

During his time in Edmonton, Dr Carr helped establish and co-directed both the multi-disciplinary Pediatric Asthma Clinic and Eosinophilic Esophagitis Clinic at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, with the latter the first of its kind in Canada. He also served as Director of the Subcutaneous Gamma Globulin Infusion Clinic for children with immunodeficiencies from 2009 to 2016.

Dr Carr has also been very active in continuing medical education, and served as President of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology from 2010-12. He has published several peer-reviewed articles and abstracts, and has co-authored one textbook chapter.
