Dr. Barinder Brar has been selected as the most recent fellow in the University of British Columbia (UBC) – Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) Emergency Medicine Leadership Fellowship program.
Dr. Brar is currently an emergency physician and co-head of Richmond Hospital’s Department of Emergency Medicine, as well as a clinical instructor with the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine.
“I am looking forward to this timely opportunity to develop strategies for navigating the complex challenges facing the practice of emergency medicine given our current climate,” said Dr. Brar. “I am confident that the expertise of experienced clinicians and leaders will provide me with the tools necessary to contribute to medical leadership and sustainable health system change.”
The UBC-BWH Emergency Medicine Leadership Fellowship aims to develop health care leaders from BC who will become experts in emergency care delivery both at the institutional and system or regional levels through a combination of practice, financial and management education, collaboration, and personal development.
Applicants are reviewed by a selection committee led by the Co-Heads of the UBC DEM, Roy Purcell, MD and John Tallon, MD. The selection committee has equal representation from the UBC and BWH.
