Chaase Byrne

By Alex Hsuan Tsui | August 1, 2025

Hometown: Flin Flon, Man.
Program: Southern Medical Program
Year in Program: 2

What inspired you to pursue your program?

After spending 12 years working in construction, including three years at B.C. Hydro’s Site C Clean Energy Project in northeastern B.C., I was looking for a change that would be academically stimulating but still allow me to work closely with people.

Why did you choose UBC?

I had spent a large portion of the last 10 years working in B.C., so I have really come to love all that the province has to offer. Additionally, I enjoy the smaller size of UBC’s distributed medical program sites, leading me to ultimately choose Kelowna.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

I am looking forward to starting the transition into the clinical portion of medical school.
