Teaching our next generation of physicians remains a crucial component of the Faculty of Medicine’s Strategic Plan, Building the Future. Our teachers inspire our learners and are the role models for the next generation of healthcare professionals. A UBC faculty appointment is a requirement for all teachers in the MD Undergraduate Program.
