- What’s the best part about your residency experience:
Being able to explore different practices of palliative care and learning from many preceptors and patients. They allow me to reflect on my area of strengths and weaknesses, and work towards being a better physician. - What are you most looking forward to in your career ahead:
Provide care to a diverse and growing population, and work collaboratively with colleagues within and outside of palliative care to make it more accessible for our community. - What’s the best part about your job?
What I really love about going to work is the privilege of spending time and getting to know my patients and their family, and often it translates to patients feeling more supported as they go through a stressful time in their health journey. - Favourite song:
Any music from Studio Ghibli - Favourite past-time activity:
Taking care of my plants and spending time in nature - Favourite restaurant in your community:
Tina Cake Desserts in Vancouver, which is a small Vietnamese restaurant with many dishes that remind me of childhood. - A book or article you would recommend:
We Are All Perfectly Fine by Dr. Jillian Horton, a witty and reflective read about burnout in medicine and a reminder about being human - What are you creating in the world right now?
Hopefully a kinder place. I try to make other people feel safe and seen during our interaction, and know that they can turn to me for support.
