Meet our 2021 Incoming Residents!
The UBC Department of Emergency Medicine is honoured and excited to welcome an incredible group of new trainees to our RCPSC-EM Residency Program in July 2021.
Ryan Kohler, Interior Site
Like any good emerg doc, Ryan was constantly on the move since day one. Originally hailing from Ontario, he lived in Singapore and Australia for several years growing up, and between semesters of cell biology, sailed Ontario’s seven seas with the Coast Guard. Perhaps the UWO party scene got the best of him, but those […]
Kevin Duncan, Interior Site
Kevin grew up in Summerland with a farm full of chickens to call friends! He then moved to the big city of Kelowna, and then the even bigger city of Vancouver! This was a bit too big so he’s back in Kelowna now making real people friends in the UBC EM Interior Program. He has […]
Lulu Yang, Vancouver Island Site
Hailing from Vancouver (where she did both her undergrad and medical school), Lulu has decided to ditch the traffic and noise of the big city and instead pursue her passion of chasing after five foot stingrays off the island’s coast. Oh, and she’s also kind of interested in Emergency Medicine! With her amazing voice and […]
Max Moor-Smith, Vancouver Island Site
This young buck was born & raised in Richmond, BC. He finally found his footing at the age of 17 and wandered over to Vancouver Island, never to leave again. He completed a BSc in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria, followed by his MD through UBC. A thrill seeking free spirit that skydives & […]
Meg Singh, Vancouver Site
Meg, if that’s even her real name, lived in five countries before she started university at McGill for undergrad. Now that she’s lived in both Ottawa and Kingston, this proud Ontarian is able to name a grand total of two cities in her home province. With parents in the diplomatic service, we’re not sure if […]
Andrew Chang, Vancouver Site
Andrew hails from “far away” Coquitlam, BC, where he grew up with the dream of moving to the big city. From SFU for undergrad, he made it to Vancouver for med school and residency, all before taking his training wheels off. He may be our youngest R1, but he knows what he wants. He was […]
Devon Mitchell, Vancouver Site
Born and raised in the cosmopolitan metropolis of Langley, BC, Devon is our program’s UBC lifer, spending undergrad, med school and now residency in beautiful Vancouver. His two passions in life are prosecco and policy, and we’ve already started our five-year plan to convince Parliament to move out West so we can keep him. While […]
Aidan McParland, Vancouver Site
This Brockville (aka Brock Vegas) import brought a whole new level of stoke to the VGH ED. Joining us from Toronto, this committed carnivore is adjusting to all the plant-based foods in his new home. He moved to Vancouver to take the first step in his lifelong dream…. of becoming a boat captain. He’s always […]
Claire Ronsley, Vancouver Site
Though Claire would tell you she chose Emerg late in the game, with her numerous visits to the ER, we knew it was never in doubt. Hailing from the North Shore, you’ll either find her with a rose crown at Shambhala or wearing three layers of Patagucci in Squamish. She has a passion for Addictions, […]
