He is certified by the American Board of Preventive Medicine by Examination; the Canadian Board of Occupational Medicine by Examination; and is a member through distinction of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine London.

He was also a member and Chair of the Ontario Medical Association's Committee on Public Health and Section on Occupational Health, and is a member of the Canadian Medical Association's Committee on Occupational and Environmental Health.
