UBC Health is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Maria Hubinette as the Canfield Distinguished Scholar in Patient Partnerships at UBC for a three-year term until March 31, 2026.
Dr. Hubinette is Clinical Professor and Undergraduate Program Director in the Department of Family Practice and Scholar at the Centre for Health Education Scholarship (CHES) in the Faculty of Medicine.
As the inaugural Canfield Scholar, Dr. Hubinette will support research, teaching, and outreach initiatives in patient partnerships in health professional education. Her work will be supported jointly by the Patient & Community Partnership for Education (PCPE) at UBC Health and CHES.
The Canfield Distinguished Scholar in Patient Partnerships at UBC was established thanks to a generous donation from Carolyn Canfield, a citizen-patient advocate who works in BC, across Canada, and internationally to expand opportunities for patients, caregivers, and communities to partner with healthcare professionals to improve health services, systems, research, training, and governance.
