Dr. Jason Marr graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), in Toronto, ON and he is the Founder, Owner and Director of Evoke Integrative Medicine. He is a consultant to several publicly traded companies and is a Certified Organizational Coach (UBC).
Throughout my academic career, I always complemented my medical education with experiences in competitive sport, politics, and leadership opportunities. Serving two years for the Naturopathic Students’ Association (NSA) at CCNM, I held the post of President of the NSA in my final year of study. During my internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic (RSNC), I played an integral and organizational role in the Sports Medicine & Pain Management Team under the tutelage of Dr. Aubrey Rickford, ND, and Dr. Leslie Solomonian, ND, and volunteered my time at RSNC’s satellite clinic in an underserviced Parkdale clinic in downtown Toronto.
I’m a proud alumnus of St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, NS, where I graduated with Honours from StFX’s Bachelor of Science program in Human Kinetics with a major in Kinesiology. My Honours thesis studied the effects of imagery training in elite athletes, which I completed under the supervision of Dr. Lou Bilek, Pae.D.
