UBC Health Clinic


 

Welcome to Interdisciplinary Healthcare

“We're excited to launch one of the first clinic models of inter-professional health care and education in the province," says Dr. Christie Newton , a UBC Assistant Professor of Family Practice and Clinic Director. "Family practice residents, nurse practitioner trainees, and midwifery students are among those who will gain experience in collaborating with other health-care professionals to provide the best possible care to our patients. From the patient's perspective, "members of my health-care team" will always be available."

 

"This model provides an opportunity to explore different ways of both teaching and research, while being completely focused on service to patients. It also honours the enduring relationship between caregiver and patient that lie at the core of family practice," Dr.Robert Woollard, Head of UBC's Department of Family Practice.
