Colin Chalk graduated from McGill University (MD,CM 1984), trained in neurology at Mayo Clinic and Oxford University, and completed a fellowship in peripheral nerve diseases at Mayo Clinic. He returned to McGill in 1991. From 2004 to 2019 he was the Director of the Division of Neurology, Montréal General Hospital.
