Dr. Joshua Greggain Appointed as DFP Postgrad Program Director
The Department is pleased to announce Dr. Josh Greggain as the new director of the Family Practice Residency Program. This appointment comes following the tenure of Dr. Mark MacKenzie. Dr. Greggain will officially start on January 1, 2024, with a transition period beginning in December.
With gratitude, we acknowledge that the UBC Department of Family Practice —encompassing our programs, faculty, learners and staff—is located on traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of Indigenous peoples—including First Nations, Métis and Inuit—around the province now known as British Columbia. In our work within the Department, we all have a responsibility to disrupt, dismantle and decolonize in order to unravel the ways in which settlers have exercised and continue to exercise their power and privilege with consequent impacts on First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. We acknowledge the ongoing consequences of colonization and strive to support reconciliation within our department.
