The UBC Department of Orthopaedics hosted a virtual Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Fall Forum on October 26, 2023 to showcase the invaluable research conducted by UBC Orthopaedics students and trainees.
This year’s in-person event was chaired by Dr. Lise Leveille, UBC Orthopaedics Clinical Assistant Professor & Director, Undergraduate Medical Education. Presentations were limited to 4 minutes followed by a 4 minute discussion with the review panel—UBC Orthopaedics faculty members Drs. Michael Bond and Fay Leung.
