UBC Medical Alumni Association Wellness Week returns for 2023!
For UBC medical students, residents, alumni, and UBC MAA members, having a healthy mind and body makes an incredible difference in the ability to help others. Now’s the time to take action.
From August 17 to 24, 2023, during UBC MAA Wellness Week, presented by MD Financial Management, you can:
- Choose your own healthy adventure by picking activities to do throughout the week that will improve your health or relax your mind. Walk the stairs, bike, read, colour—do what you can on your time, wherever you are!
- Take part in fun contests for bragging rights and amazing prizes.
- Participate in an organized hybrid wellness activity in Vancouver and online!
My wife and I played table tennis at a local outdoor park. More creative people did axe throwing or did a new activity every day. Part of the fun is being creative! – Jim Boyle, MD‘78
Stay tuned – registration opens this summer!
Thank you for our generous 2023 sponsors

Over the course of one week, over 310 UBC MD students, residents, alumni, and UBC MAA members from all over BC, and even as far as Toronto, joined us for our second annual UBC Medical Alumni Association Wellness Week, a completely virtual opportunity to focus on health and wellbeing. We had students from all four years and from all four distributed sites, 18 resident specialties, and alumni from 22 class years.
Participants took over 100 selfies, documenting the over 60 unique activities they completed, including things they’ve never done before like pickleball, spike ball, sudoku, embroidering, wakeboarding, and pilates!
