The Faculty of Medicine REDI Office presents: Transformation, Inspiration and Guidance: Celebrating 20 Years of Indigenous Excellence in Medicine

Join us virtually on Wednesday, May 17th, 2023 from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm (PST), for “Transformation, Inspiration and Guidance: Celebrating 20 Years of Indigenous Excellence in Medicine.” This virtual event is presented by the Indigenous Speakers Series

In this Indigenous Speaker Series session, we will have a conversation with James Andrew, a member of Lil’wat Nation’s Mount Currie Band and the Associate Director of Indigenous Initiatives at the Faculty of Medicine. James Andrew has been a source of inspiration and guidance in helping to create and transform the UBC Faculty of Medicine’s Indigenous MD Admissions Pathway – The Pathway. In 2022 the UBC Faculty of Medicine community celebrated 20 years of The Pathway as well as the Indigenous Family Medicine Residency Program, and over this time period more than 120 Indigenous doctors have graduated and are now serving communities across the province as family doctors, surgeons, pediatricians, and more.
