What is more pure and blissful than sitting down to a blank canvas with an uninhibited mind? Last week a lovely group of art and/or wine enthusiasts sat down together and created some beautiful pieces of work. Classmates of all years attended and it was a full night of socializing, laughs, and impressive skills. If you […]
September Inspiration Injection
Welcome back to all the 2nd years that had too long of a summer and a big welcome to our new Class of 2020. I think it’s important to start the school year off remembering that medicine is about the people and not the science. A perfect example of this comes from my classmate’s favourite […]
April Inspiration Injection
April is a very busy month for most. Mother nature is busy blooming everywhere, exams are coming up, lots of birthdays and celebration, as well as a week of damage control for those who went too far on their April Fools jokes. It’s times like these when I like to pass on some advise I […]

The Hughes family is pregnant aka. how I used my PBL paper
Over the semester, puzzling my 4 perennial classmates, I have been collecting the separator sheets that come with the tutors’ packages. That and PBL cover sheets. In case you haven’t noticed, a colour-lover has been in charge of printing and has been feeding us a lovely array of hues. Well, I finally collected enough and went out today […]
Spring Living
Yesterday I disengaged from reviewing those engrossing Brain and Behaviour lectures for the fifth time and left for a stroll in Burnaby’s beautiful Central Park.

A thought on the Arts at UBC Medicine
I was fortunate to have $20 to get into the 21st Spring Gala yesterday night. Amidst all the wonderfully cheeky, geeky humour, the buzzword during the show was, undoubtedly, talent. I suspect that the word “talent” would have been use with the same frequency even if all the acts had bombed. Happily, all acts left the stage unscathed – […]
