The UBC Department of Orthopaedics hosted a virtual Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Fall Forum on November 24, 2022 to showcase the invaluable research conducted by UBC Orthopaedics students and trainees.
This year’s online event was chaired by Dr. Lise Leveille, UBC Orthopaedics Clinical Assistant Professor & Director, Undergraduate Medical Education.

Congratulations to all the presenters, and thank you to all who made the event such a success!
