Welcome to SBME @UBC
Designed as a blueprint for the future of medicine, we are built on a foundation of collaborative research and teaching excellence with the vision to transform patient health and healthcare in Canada and around the world. Established in 2017 as a partnership between the Faculties of Applied Science and Medicine, we are UBC’s first inter-faculty school.
Remote Learning
