Northern Medical Program grad hopes to continue building connection between Indigenous and medical communities
PRINCE GEORGE—The UBC Northern Medical Program is hosting its virtual graduation ceremony today (June 17), and one Northern B.C. Grad is excited to continue growing trust between Indigenous communities and the medical community.
Randi George grew up in a small reserve in Northern B.C., and her inspiration to become involved in a career in medicine stems from her family’s struggles with mental health and addiction.
In her time, George has worked with Indigenous and other marginalized groups, seeing and understanding things such as the health impacts of colonization.
For her, graduating is a step in her hope to continue to build connection and trust between Indigenous communities and the medical community while continuing to be an advocate for mental health and Indigenous Wellness.
