UBC Faculty of Medicine staff, faculty and student groups are invited to book workshops, activities, booths and events organized by the GPE Program Coordinator and Embedded Counsellor.
Each resource is developed and implemented through a lens of health equity, healthy literacy, and to enhance the navigation of wellbeing resources at UBC. The GPE Wellbeing team partners with staff, faculty and student groups to offer Faculty of Medicine-wide educational opportunities for our graduate students and postdocs.
