Dear Clinical Faculty members,
With the graduation of our last time-based cohort of the UBC Psychiatry Residency Program, Dr. Michelle van den Engh will be stepping down from her role as Co-Associate Director for Resident Psychotherapy Training, after three years as Associate Director in this position and a subsequent two years as Co-Associate Director together with Dr. Jaeyun Yoo.
We would like to thank Dr. van den Engh for all her amazing work with the Program regarding psychotherapy. In her role, she helped to organize, refine and enhance so many aspects of the psychotherapy program. These included the curriculum and its transition to CBD, an increase in the therapy options across tracks for residents, as well as the pivot to zoom and the need to get recordings possible with so many different privacy considerations across all the health authorities to name just a few.
She will continue in her roles as Vancouver Island Psychotherapy Site Director, as a member of the UBC Psychiatry EDIA Committee, and as Clinical Faculty Representative on the UBC Undergraduate Education Committee.
Dr. Yoo will be taking over the full role of Associate Director for Resident Psychotherapy Training as of July 1, 2024.
Please join me in thanking Dr. van den Engh and welcoming Dr. Yoo.
Warm regards,
Irfan
