UBC General Surgical Oncology Fellowship

Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver, a bustling metropolitan area nestled between the West Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, is constantly ranked one of the most liveable and beautiful cities in the world. Try different cuisines, sunbathe in English Bay, and visit the numerous museums and art galleries downtown. Lovers of the outdoors also have a vast array of waterfalls, mountains, and lakes to explore, all within an hour from downtown. Vancouver is also a top destination in the winter, with many snow-capped mountains to choose from, including the world-renowned slopes of Whistler.
