 At UBC, we offer a unique postgraduate medical experience that you won't find elsewhere in North America. We are the only medical school in the province, which means our training round is the entire province. We use every square kilometer to enhance resident learning and the student experience, with sites and faculty in all corners of British Columbia. You will not find another world-class medical school so engaged with the land we're privileged to share. I did my undergrad, general surgery, and even my sub-specialty pediatric surgery training here at UBC. When I saw the opportunity to return to BC in practice, I jumped at the chance and never looked back. It's my privilege to be part of the UBC PGME team and to develop the Doctors of Tomorrow. Our main strength here at UBC is being able to inspire residents. UBC provides an outstanding training landscape. It's diversity, richness, with exposure to tertiary and quaternary care, as well as established rotations in rural and remote communities, allow our learners to tailor their residency experience exactly how they want to. So I've been lucky to train at two UBC medical campuses, both in Kelowna and the Southern Medical Program, and now in Victoria in emergency medicine residency. UBC's medical training programs are well integrated across BC communities and it's easiest at melective, wherever you want. No endless paperwork or new licensing. It's all under UBC and can be set up with one or two emails. I've been to Hazelton for rural family practice, Vancouver for pre-hospital medicine, and I even get to see my family off in Kelowna for core rotations there. UBC is the largest family medicine program across Canada. It has 20 distributed sites from the southern border of BC to the rural communities of Northern Ontario. This gives us the freedom to learn as we want, from a purely office-based practice to the full scope of family medicine. We have a strong commitment to overall resident wellness here. Residency is full of transitions and these stresses are amplified during the pandemic. We are aware of them and take them seriously. This is why I'm so proud of our resident wellness office and our numerous other support structures we have in place to aid you. We're all navigating the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic and the endless video conferencing sessions. While this may not have been the residency you planned for, UBC is doing so much to support our residents. I have been a part of the UBC community for 10 years and our PGME departments are full of innovative and hard-working staff and faculty working to make sure you get the best experience possible. We are committed to recognize that structural racism and social injustice exist in our medical system and we strive for improvement. In addition to implicit bias education, we are continually looking for ways to dismantle systemic racism as well as the creation of anti-racism equity diversity and inclusion faculty leads. We encourage feedback and wisdom from our residents to inspire change. I came from Singapore, which is a multiracial country. When I migrated to Canada, I wanted to find a community where people of all walks of life are celebrated. That shines at UBC. In one year, I met people from all across the globe with many deferring experiences. Meeting and becoming friends with them improved my ability to empathize. That's a vital skill to have as a physician no matter what specialty you go into. BC is also one of the most beautiful places in the country. In one day, you can hike up Grouse Mountain, Kayak in North Vancouver and go coffee shop hopping on Grandville Island. In residency, when you have a lot going on, it's nice to have all these adventures for you to de-stress. At UBC, we are more than just work in residency life. So whether you're into surfing, skiing or just being near the mountains, there's so much to do without having to travel too far. In addition to its exceptional clinical experiences, opportunities and unique learning locations, I believe that UBC is a responsive university that is continually striving towards better learners, better doctors and a better future for our healthcare system. One of the things that I hope our residents leave with after training here at UBC is the drive and the inspiration to be part of a better future. A future where we realize better well-being and health for everybody in the healthcare system and beyond. Come to UBC. Come to UBC. Come to UBC. What are you waiting for? A pie now. We hope to see you in the summer. We hope to see you in the summer. We hope to see you in the summer.
