On May 2, 2024, the UBC Medical Alumni Association (MAA) welcomed the UBC medical community of alumni and residents to the inaugural UBC Medical Alumni Celebration & Awards 2024 at the UBC Medical Student & Alumni Centre (MSAC) Vancouver. Honoured guests celebrated the UBC MAA’s past year of change and evolution – inclusive membership for all UBC medical alumni past and future, creation of UBC Medical Alumni Adivsory Council and the UBC Medical Alumni Community Fund – and recognized departing UBC MAA Board Directors. The UBC MAA also presented awards to this year’s UBC MAA award recipients – Dr. Silke Appel-Cresswell, Valerie Mok, Alvin Qiu, and Dr. Adrian Yee – for their many contributions to the UBC medical community.

We look forward to next year’s event in Spring 2025.

This event and awards program are made possible by donations to the UBC Medical Alumni Community Fund. Learn more and donate here.
