Mohit was born in New Delhi, India and came to Canada shortly thereafter. He loved Vancouver so much that he ended up completing his undergraduate, master’s and medical degrees at UBC. He was inspired to pursue medicine, and emergency medicine in particular, by his younger sister with cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder.
In 2016, Mohit co-founded a local charity called YNOTFORTOTS that donates much-needed school equipment to underfunded elementary schools and pediatrics-focused organizations in the Lower Mainland. Mohit is also very passionate about research and has published a number of studies that have had a global impact.
When he’s not working, Mohit enjoys golfing, cooking (especially steaks and white chocolate pistachio and rose tarts, not to be eaten simultaneously), e-scootering (the most “adrenaline-seeking” activity he will do), weight lifting, and spending time with his friends and family.
