Dear Department members,
I would like to share a couple of staffing updates and announcements regarding our UBC Department of Psychiatry Administration Office.
Firstly, we are delighted to welcome Ms. Gitika Bhowmik who is joining the UBC Psychiatry Administrative team as our new HR Assistant as of September 26. Gitika brings to this role several years’ experience in human resources and a strong background in supporting UBC administrative and HR-related processes. Most recently, she served as Senior Administrative Assistant to the UBC School of Social Work, and previously in 2021 she provided temporary support to the Department of Psychiatry’s HR team through UBC Hiring Solutions. As our new HR Assistant, Gitika will be taking over the Student/Staff/Volunteer HR portfolio, handling all Workday processes, and providing day-to-day HR support for these groups. She will be situated in the main Administration Office on the 2nd Floor at UBC Hospital, Detwiller Pavilion (UBC Campus), and may be reached by email at gitika.bhowmik@ubc.ca.
We would also like to formally welcome Mr. Trevor Mah who joined the Faculty of Medicine as a Financial Analyst supporting the Department of Psychiatry in August. Trevor replaces Eric Toh who moved into a new analyst role in Administration Finance, FoM. Prior to joining UBC, Trevor worked as a senior accountant with D&H Group LLP. In his new role, Trevor oversees processes related to general finance, including review of funding for hires and reconciliation processes. He also manages project grant set up, and provides guidance on financial policies and procedures for the FoM and the Department, as well as solutions and support for all finance-related issues and queries.
