Arun Garg MD (born 1946) is an Indo-Canadian physician in the province of British Columbia who is recognized for contributing linkages between Canada and India, his country of origin.
Garg was born in the Indian city of Agra. His reputation for academic excellence started at an early age. When he was six years old, he entered school at a Grade 4 level. By age 16, he graduated from Agra University with a Master's in Chemistry. Being too young to enter medical school in India, Garg emigrated to the prairie province of Saskatchewan in Canada.
After earning a PHD in Biochemistry at the University of Regina in 1970, Garg graduated with a medical degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in 1977. As a pathologist, he was a medical partner in Dr. C. J. Coady Associates from 1979-2011. He started as Medical Director of Lab Medicine and Pathology at Royal Columbian Hospital in 1997 and became the regional director after the hospital was merged into the Fraser Health region.
Garg's service at the British Columbia Medical Association (BCMA) included being a board member, board chair and president. As a member of the board for the Canadian Medical Association, he also chaired its Council on Health Policy and Economics and a task force which developed the position paper “Prescription for Sustainability” for presentation to the federal Royal Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada.
