“On March 3, 2020, UBC medical students gathered in Vancouver, Prince George, Victoria and Kelowna to celebrate the results of Match Day – the first round of the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS), which pairs final-year medical students with residency programs in communities across Canada.
Join us as we share in their excitement and learn more about the next steps for a few of these students.” via UBC Faculty of Medicine
“All three of the major ranking bodies consistently place UBC among the best universities in the world. In the Times Higher Education (THE) rankings, for example, we placed 34th in the world (2nd in Canada) and 19th among public universities in the most recent survey. THE also ranked us as the most international university in North America and among the top three universities in the world for making a global impact.”

Our family physician & UBC faculty curriculum lead, Dr. Thanh Luu, and I wrap up our lessons on Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases at our local elementary school. What a brilliant and beautiful group of learners! I encourage all our family physicians to connect with our public schools and offer to teach them about medicine and health. These kids genuinely appreciate and love having doctors in their classroom.
Be the change,
Jacqueline

“‘Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth and mental health concerns are among the most disabling diseases in high-income countries,’ said lead author Dr. Quynh Doan, an emergency room physician and investigator at BC Children’s Hospital, and associate professor in the University of British Columbia (UBC) Department of Pediatrics.
‘Youth don’t always see their doctors on a regular basis, so we want to take advantage of every interaction we have with them to assess their mental health,’ added Dr. Doan.
‘We wanted to create a reliable self-assessment tool that could not only identify problems early, but also suggest support services without affecting the flow of busy emergency departments.'”

Each month CHES distributes a collection of medical education article abstracts to members. “We thank Dr. Gisèle Bourgeois-Law who has created these summaries for the education community at the Island Medical Program. While these articles have a medical education focus, we are using this opportunity to explore the value of such an initiative to our larger CHES community. Article themes include topics such as: feedback and mindfulness, those by local/BC educators, those relevant to a distributed medical program, and those with new ideas. Our aim is to include a variety of quantitative and qualitative research articles, review articles, and concept articles, some of which contain an interesting editorial or commentary. This summary is not meant to be comprehensive, nor to include everything of potential interest.”
If you would like to nominate an article for future inclusion or have any questions, please email us at ches.communications@ubc.ca.
