Dr. Shirley Jian

By Alex Tsui | January 27, 2025

Program: Gastroenterology
Location: Vancouver
Year in Program: 5

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

To me, “Transforming Health for Everyone” is embodied by the Division’s dedication to patient care, medical education and innovation. As a gastroenterology (GI) fellow in Vancouver, I am trained by an exceptional teaching faculty, whose mentorship extends beyond clinical acumen but also prepares us to teach the next generation of physicians. We are given the foundation and opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and ultimately advance the care that we provide. Most importantly, this all ties back to a shared commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care for all.

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

My favorite part about being a GI fellow in Vancouver is my colleagues. Each resident is uniquely inspiring for their incredible academic and personal achievements, from overhauling an academic lecture series or finding time to train for triathlons. From the newfound responsibility in year one to imminent graduation, my cohort has provided each other with endless support and encouragement. Over the years, we have all grown together, both professionally and personally.
