Felix, now a professor emeritus in UBC’s department of surgery, was the first resident to be trained in neurosurgery at UBC. He later trained internationally with world renowned surgeons, ensuring that people in BC had access to a clinician capable of the most difficult and complex operations. During his chairmanship of The BC Medical Service Foundation, from 2006 to 2010, several impactful community-focused health care programs were accomplished. He also chaired UBC’s division of neurosurgery. While at UBC, he published more than 30 peer reviewed manuscripts and was able to increase research funding by more than 1600 per cent between 1991 and 1997. His dedicated commitment to teaching has been recognized with three undergraduate and postgraduate teaching awards.
