About UBC GO

UBC Global Orthopaedics (UBC GO) is an initiative within the Department of Orthopaedics dedicated to enhancing orthopaedic care and outcomes in resource-challenged communities worldwide. Our pledge extends to addressing health inequities and the determinants of Indigenous Peoples’ health, supporting their self-determination, and fostering improved health outcomes for Indigenous Peoples.

Our UBC Orthopaedics faculty members have rich skills in teaching and treating musculoskeletal system (MSK) pathology. Many have the desire to assist in reducing the burden of musculoskeletal disability within and beyond BC through building capacity, providing clinical care, and pursuing research in areas of need. Embracing UBC’s view that universities are universal actors, the Department of Orthopaedics seeks to enhance the impact of our clinical and scholarly activities to help build a more just, sustainable, resilient, and thriving world.

Discover the vibrant international footprint of our UBC Orthopaedics faculty, where over 12 dynamic members have passionately engaged in 47+ projects across 21+ countries. Through their unwavering dedication, our faculty has left an indelible mark on orthopaedic practices worldwide.
