UBCMLN Presents - EP 5 - The Meducators & Women's Health Interrupted Double Bill

11:00am - 12:00pm

The MEDucators co-hosts, Dr. Debbie Basco and Dr. Derek Chang, invite members of the UBC medical education community to tell their stories about becoming a medical teacher — how they got there and what keeps them going. Dr. Wesley Jang, Department Head of Critical Care Medicine at Burnaby Hospital and Fraser Health Regional Simulation Medical Lead, shares his journey into medicine and passion for simulation-based training. Discover how simulation labs provide safe spaces for learners to develop their skills and embrace the permission to fail.

Later, in a double bill, Women’s Health Interrupted’s Rebecca and Sidney sit down with Dr. Emily Jacobs and Dr. Cailtin Taylor to discuss how oral contraceptives (OC) impact women’s brain health. We break down the science behind oral contraceptives, discover gaps in research, and discuss the need for safer birth control options for women.
