Meet a few of the 800+ future doctors training across Metro Vancouver

From Squamish to Richmond and into the Fraser Valley, UBC medical students are learning in the same communities they'll one day serve while building strong connections with their peers, mentors and patients.

Whether it's providing care in multiple languages, helping people through difficult times or giving back to the neighbourhood that raised them — these students are shaping the future of health care in B.C.

Meet Loay Al-Salehi, postdoctoral fellow in the Orthopaedic and Injury Biomechanics Group with Dr. Peter Cripton at the School of Biomedical Engineering.

Loay’s work focuses on preventing spine and spinal cord injuries — but his impact goes far beyond the lab. A dedicated mentor to undergraduate and graduate students, he’s passionate about training the next generation of scientists and biomedical engineers. His commitment to teaching earned him a Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award, and that dedication has only deepened since.

“Being there since the first undergraduate cohort and seeing them graduate and excel in academia and industry is a very nice feeling as an educator.”

➡️ Swipe to follow along as Loay takes us through a day at the School of Biomedical Engineering.

What does youth-centred sexual health care look like?

A new report from UBC researchers and Options for Sexual Health explores what youth say they need from sexual health care — and how services can better meet their needs.

The findings point to the need for low-barrier, inclusive and youth-friendly services, with flexible access and strong connections to other health and social supports. Now, the project team is partnering with communities to pilot a new model of care.

“One of the biggest takeaways is that youth aren't simply asking for more clinics — they're asking for a different experience,” says Dr. Kate Shannon.
