UBC Health’s strategic plan represents the vision and priorities of the University of British Columbia in advancing collaborative health. It provides a roadmap to guide our activity across both the Vancouver and Okanagan campuses and outlines a set of outcomes against which we can hold ourselves accountable. It also creates a framework to support new collaborations that help draw the university and the communities we serve closer together.
Our Purpose
BETTER HEALTH TOGETHER: Connecting people, ideas, and actions to advance health outcomes, equity, and systems
Our core areas and objectives
Our work focuses on three core areas:
- Collaborative Health Education
Integrating interprofessional and collaborative health education to shape the workforce of tomorrow - Interdisciplinary Health Research
Catalyzing interdisciplinary collaborations in health research - Health Systems
Advocating for and helping to develop capacity for positive change in health
We channel our work towards strategic objectives under each core area, but there are strong interdependencies across the three. While each objective in the strategic plan is anchored in one of these areas, we enhance connections and facilitate collaborations across all our work.

Our Strategic Plan In Action
We are making progress on each of our strategic objectives through a combination of internal facilitation and external mobilization, with faculty members and academic units playing a key role alongside the Office of the Vice-President, Health. In some of this work, the Office of the Vice-President, Health has taken the lead, while in other areas, we promote and support the activities of the faculties, schools, and departments that together constitute UBC Health. In all cases, we are building a community across the university and encouraging new relationships and new opportunities related to health.
