jojo123 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hello! Opening up this thread to discuss opinions/experiences at different UBC Family Practice residency sites since there are so many and any insight would be really appreciated! Personally, I am interested particularly in St. Pauls/Vancouver Fraser/Surrey/Victoria/Abbotsford/Regional Okanagan/Coastal Is anybody able to shed some light on a few questions: How much service versus learning is there at each of these sites (genuinely) and off-service scut work? What are the call schedules like at each site? With respect to Surrey/Vic/Abbotsford, what's the city life like? Is the downtown young and active and are there other young professionals in the cities? Is there opportunity to meet other residents/friends since I don't have any known family or friends in BC. Any other information (even on sites not listed) would be really appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BistroMongre Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 There are 20 sites. No one could reasonably offer you appropriate comparison. If you are not from BC and are not a rural gunner, you should just rank in order of population size. I have doubts about Abbotsford offering you a young professionals scene. Victoria should be nice tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foozer93 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 St.Paul's program is unique. It attracts people interested in marginalized population, indigenous health, addictions etc. Its known to be more competitive than some highly competitive 5 yr residencies.
