Meet our Alumni

Lindsay Warder, MD ’09

By dcc2012 | April 30, 2019

Year graduated: 2009
Hometown: Victoria
Program: Family medicine
Current location: Victoria
UBC title: Clinical Instructor in the Department of Family Practice

Describe what you do in two or three sentences.

I have been working at the University of Victoria Health Clinic for the past three years. I have also done a bit of teaching with the Island Medical Program (IMP) for the past few years. Daniel—who is also a graduate of the Class of 2009—and I have two sons, who are seven and four. When not working, I am on my bike, running, or getting dirty in my garden.

What led you to your current position?

I really enjoy the young population and working with university students. The position had just come up when we returned to Victoria, and it is the perfect fit for how I want to practice medicine.

What is your favourite memory from your time at UBC?

I feel so fortunate to have been in Victoria with our small class of 24.

What advice would you give to students in the Island Medical Program?

Savour the time you have in Victoria; you are so lucky to be part of this small program. You don’t realize it until you are done and have gone to see what other places are like. The IMP offers so many opportunities and learning experiences.

What does a healthy community look like to you?

A place with green spaces, active lifestyles, accessibility to being outdoors for everyone, inclusiveness for all individuals in all aspects of life, and supports for mental health.
