Successfully completing her undergraduate degree in Psychology in 1990, Dr. Frank moved on to study medicine and was accepted to McMaster University’s medical school in 1994. Being able to graduate from medical school was a lifelong dream of Dr. Frank’s and doing so in 1997, after so much hard work and dedication, was truly a dream come true for her. During her postgraduate work at the University of Western Ontario, Dr. Frank dedicated her talents and skills to the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

Following her post-graduate work, Dr. Cathy Frank was hired at her first OB/GYN position at St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital.
