Resident Doctors on the Front Lines

The UBC Faculty of Medicine is home not only to Canada’s largest family medicine residency program, but to more than 70 specialty and sub-speciality residency programs.

Together, these programs are equipping the next generation of doctors with specialized skills and knowledge to support patients and families facing medical challenges, ranging from cancer through to spinal cord injuries and dementia.

“When residents train here, they’re not just gaining critical skills, they’re joining a community of care professionals.”

– Dr. Matthew Turnock

Thanks to the Faculty’s province-wide approach to medical education that began more than two decades ago, UBC resident doctors can be found at more than 135 training sites across B.C., ranging from the community of Castlegar, nestled in the Selkirk Mountains of the Interior, all the way to the island archipelago of Haida Gwaii off the north coast.
