Congratulations to the NMP's Class of 2022 on their White Coat Ceremony as they celebrate the completion of four years of medical undergraduate studies!

The 31 graduating students, part of the NMP's fifteenth graduating class, received their wood shingle and their long white coat to mark their transition from students to doctors. These graduates now move into two to seven years of medical residency and fellowship training, depending on specialty.

The Class of 2022 includes ten graduates from Northern BC, including eight from Prince George. Sixteen of the graduates will be entering family medicine residency programs, with many training in rural and smaller centres in B.C. and across the country. Three of those graduates will train in Prince George and one will train in Fort St. John. The remaining students have matched to a wide range of other specialties including anesthesiology, general surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, otolaryngology (head and neck surgery), pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, psychiatry, radiation oncology, urology, and vascular surgery.

The UBC Northern Medical Program graduation celebration precedes the formal graduation for the students, taking place at UBC on May 24, at which they will receive their official medical degrees.

The NMP is a distributed program site of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia (UBC), delivered in partnership with UNBC.
