Dear Faculty,
It is with regret that I wanted to announce that Dr. Dmitri Zanozin will be stepping down from his position of Associate Program Director for the Prince George Track.
After having been a family physician in many underserved communities, Dr. Zanozin returned to the UBC Psychiatry PGE Program and graduated in 2016. Since then, he has been a very valued member of the clinical faculty in Prince George at the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia in many areas including in the areas of Severe and Persistent mental illness, Addiction psychiatry and on the Adolescent Psychiatric Unit and supervised our residents in these key core rotations.
He took on the role of Associate Program Director for the Prince George track in November 9, 2020 and since then, has been a truly valued member of the Residency Program and the Program Executive. He was key in growing the track having been one of its founding members, and was considered an inspiring mentor and leader to the residents within over these last few years. His leadership will be a significant loss to the Program, but I am glad to say that he will continue to serve as a preceptor in the years to come as his passion for teaching remains undiminished.
I would now like to ask for Expressions of Interest from Clinical Faculty in the North who may be interested in applying for the role of Associate Program Director for the Prince George 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 Prince George 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
