As part of Canada 150+, discover and celebrate faculty and students who are changing and improving health outcomes for Canadians!
UBC Faculty of Medicine is celebrating Canada 150+ by highlighting a few of our many faculty and student trail blazers inspiring significant change through education, research and innovation to improve health outcomes for Canadians. At the core, these innovators embrace the Faculty’s contract with society that places the patient and public at the centre of all that they do.
These exemplary people embody the four key principles that underpin the Faculty’s Strategic Plan: Building the Future – excellence, equity, engagement and effectiveness.
Join us in celebrating their achievements and Canada 150+ by helping us share their stories on social, using the hashtag #Canada150Plus!
In joining this celebration, UBC notes the longer history of Indigenous people in this land. This occasion is indeed a chance to reflect upon the past, act in the present and imagine the future.
