Program: Family Medicine – Surrey-South Fraser
Year in Program: 2
The diversity seen in family medicine challenges me to develop strong competencies in all facets of care to become a well-rounded physician. I have found joy and excitement in all steps of my training, from the Vancouver Stroke Program to the nuanced operations of orthopedics. Family medicine inspires me to always challenge myself, and to learn and grow. Having the ability to contribute to the care of any person regardless of their life stage or circumstances is my dream, and family medicine is the specialty that best captures that ambition for me.
Growing up in British Columbia gave me and my family everything. After attending medical school in Saskatchewan, I am excited to return back to my home province to complete my training, start my career and give back to the community that shaped my ambitions. UBC’s incredible family medicine program perfectly fits my goal of becoming a true generalist, aspiring to one day work in a rural or small regional center.
I have been to many places in B.C. throughout my life, but have yet to explore Vancouver Island! I’d love to visit Tofino specifically for the sandy beaches, year-round surfing and amazing trails.
