As recruitment for this position has been completed, we are delighted to welcome Ms. Aseil Eljallad who has joined the UBC Department of Psychiatry Administration Team as Senior Program Assistant as of September 22. Aseil brings extensive experience in medical education support to the role, having worked with UBC’s Department of Urologic Sciences for the past 6 years as a Department Administrative Assistant, supporting faculty and residents across a variety of programs.
As a new Senior Program Assistant, Aseil will work with the Competence by Design (CBD) faculty lead to plan and organize CBD workshops, presentations and events for the Department PGME Programs. She will also be responsible for organizing and coordinating meetings for the Competency Committee, Scholarly Activity Committee, and other related committees; providing administrative support to resident semi-annual reviews and placement planning; and supporting the PGE management team with event planning throughout the year.
