Hometown: Edmonton, Alberta
Program: Pediatrics – Victoria
Year in Program: 4
What inspired you to pursue your program?
I am honoured for the opportunity to look after the children and families of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. As a pediatrician I get to make longitudinal relationships with families, impact the trajectory of child and adolescent health for the rest of their lives, and treat a wide range of patients from premature infants to young adults.
Why did you choose UBC?
I chose UBC due to its dedication to distributed learning and rural exposures. The Vancouver Island program has allowed for amazing one-on-one experiences with preceptors, longitudinal exposure to pediatric subspecialties and excellent exposure to community pediatrics. Paired with our time at BC Children’s Hospital, the program is one-of-a-kind in Canada for excellent distributed community training with wonderful exposure to the wide breadth of pediatric medicine.
What are you most looking forward to this year?
I am most looking forward to finishing my licensing exams, completing my general pediatrics residency, and enjoying the remainder of my time in beautiful Victoria, B.C. with my wonderful wife.
