Inviting expressions of interest for the role of Associate Program Director for the Fraser track

Dear Faculty,

In June, we had made the announcement that Dr. Faiza Hameer was stepping down from her role as Associate Program Director for the Fraser Track of our Residency Program as of July 31, 2024, and that Dr. Anyssa Shakeri was stepping in as Interim APD for the time being.

I would now like to ask for Expressions of Interest from Clinical Faculty in Fraser who may be interested in applying for the role of Associate Program Director for the Fraser Track. The role description can be read here, and I am happy to answer any further questions that you may have. If interested, please send me your CV and a letter expressing your interest in the role, your experience regarding medical education and any future vision that you may have for the Fraser track.

The deadline for submissions will be Friday, September 20th by end of day. We will then conduct interviews the following week and hope to have the successful applicant begin in October or November. There would be a period of active mentorship and shadowing for several months to allow for a successful transition into the role.

Thank you for your consideration and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I can be reached at irfan.khanbhai@ubc.ca.

Sincerely,

Dr. Irfan Khanbhai MD, FRCPC
