Year in Program: 1
I decided to pursue medicine when I was working as a medical laboratory technologist at the South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver, British Columbia. I encountered amazing physicians who are dedicated to providing excellent care for everyone in the community and they inspired me to want to do the same.
I chose UBC because of their dedication to rural medicine. I grew up in a rural community, so I know the struggle people can face trying to get adequate healthcare. I love how UBC created the distributed sites and specific seats for rural students to address that issue.
I would love to go to Italy! I love to travel, and I love Italian food, so right now, Italy is at the top of my bucket list.
