Dr. Rehan Jessa

By Alex Tsui | January 27, 2025

Program: Internal Medicine
Location: Fraser
Year in Program: 1

What does the Faculty’s vision Transforming Health for Everyone mean to you as a resident doctor?

As an internal medicine resident, I have the privilege of caring for patients facing complex health challenges. For me, “Transforming Health for Everyone,” highlights the importance of advocacy, empathy and humility in patient care. As I advance in my training, I recognize that both the field of internal medicine and the needs of my patients will continue to evolve. Committed to lifelong learning, I strive to integrate the latest medical knowledge into my practice, while always considering each patient’s unique background and circumstances.

What’s your favourite part about training in the community you’re in?

Training in the Fraser has been immensely rewarding. Surrey Memorial Hospital, the busiest regional center in the region, consistently provides unique learning and growth experiences. Caring for an aging population with increasing medical complexity has offered exceptional opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary care. The collegial environment at our site, and within the Internal Medicine program, fosters seamless collaboration among primary and specialty care physicians, allied health professionals and trainees. Together, we address diverse patient needs, solve complex medical challenges and nurture a supportive, dynamic learning environment. I am excited to continue serving the Fraser community in the future.
