Wellness

“Wellness and selfcare can be hard to come by in residency training, which is why the UBC program has a wellness mandate for its residents and even staff. A dedicated resident representative helps organize annual retreats, weekend group exercise events, picnics on the beach, winter and summer sporting. The undeniable natural beauty of British Columbia and its lively cityscape provide the perfect setting for UBC OHNS to kickback and relax.”
