Biography

Paltiel received her medical degree from the McGill University School of Medicine and a M.Sc.in Biostatistics and Epidemiology, also from McGill, in 1988. She trained in hematology, internal medicine and oncology.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ora Paltiel” as epidemiologist. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as epidemiologist. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q90884982. VIAF identifies the subject as 6310172278394212660000. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2016, 1992 and 1988.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
