Health shape the future of Surgery in BC!
On January 14, 2026, Dr. Ahmer Karimuddin, Head of the UBC Department of Surgery, presented Shaping the Future Together: A Strategic Feedback Session on the UBC Surgery Plan. This session outlined our core values and operational strategies that will guide the department forward.
If you weren’t able to join us, we invite you to watch the recording and see how your contributions are helping define priorities for connection, leadership, and operational excellence across our provincially connected department.
Excellence is something we create together — through strong systems, collaborative leadership, and a shared commitment to our values, powered by the collective strength and diverse contributions of our community. Your continued engagement will help us build the conditions for excellence not just in our work, but in the communities we serve.
