Dr Kristi Zinkiew
Dr. Kristi Zinkiew completed her Medical Degree and specialty training in Paediatrics at the
University of Saskatchewan. She knew from the time she was 5 that she wanted to be a
doctor. She was fascinated by her family doctor, and wondered how he knew what to do in
order to make people feel better! Dr. Zinkiew originally thought she would be a surgeon, but
once in medical school, found working with kids was her favourite thing. She is trained in
Forensic Pediatrics and worked with the Island’s first multidisciplinary Child Maltreatment
assessment team for a decade. She has a particular interest in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, and currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA). Dr. Zinkiew loves the challenge of medicine and the diversity of each
day. She may be in the hospital one day working with premature babies, or in her office
trying to sort out the difficulties of a teenager. Every day in medicine is different, and she is
constantly learning new things. Outside of work, she enjoys sports- skiing, skating, curling,
tennis, squash, and football are among her favourites. She plays piano and sings, and loves to
read. She has lived in Mill Bay since 1998, leaving the prairies for the warmer climes. They
have two grown children, and a puppy.
