Getting to Know: Jeane Magsakay

Hi, I’m Jeane Magsakay. I joined the department in November 2025 and I’m one of three program administrators helping manage the day-to-day admin chaos in Saskatoon. I handle assessments, records, and whatever else lands on my desk. I take academic half day attendance, organize lunch orders, process resident reimbursements (and yes, chase people down for missing detailed receipts), and help pull off big academic events like Research Days, Objective Structured Clinical Exams, and AMBOSS exams. I also regularly bug residents to send me their elective supervisor’s name and email.

I’m originally from the Philippines and my background is in Health Information Management. I’m a Certified Health Information Management (CHIM) professional, and before joining the department, I worked with the Saskatchewan Health Authority reviewing clinical documentation, both paper and electronic. I also worked on classifying diseases and interventions to make sure everything is standardized for clinical, financial, and legal use. In a nutshell, CHIM professionals care for patients by taking care of their data, and we’re responsible for the quality, integrity, security, and protection of health information.

Outside of work, I love camping and spending as much time outdoors as I can during the summer. In the winter, I try to pick up a new hobby, and I recently learned basic crochet. I’m still at the stage where everything turns into a “creative” shape, but I’m calling it progress.
