ABOUT US
UBC Accessibility in Medicine is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, supportive environment for medical students with disabilities, while promoting accessibility in healthcare.
Our mission is to advocate for the rights and needs of medical students with disabilities, and to engage the broader medical and university communities in promoting accessibility for people with disabilities in healthcare settings.
We focus on four key pillars: Community Building, Education and Advocacy, Projects, and Events. We value inclusivity, collaboration, and advocacy to create equitable and accessible environments for all.
Meet the Team
UBC AIM was started by two medical students passionate about disability justice in healthcare and medical settings.
Deea K Dev (she/her)
I am a third year medical student passionate about exploring and addressing health inequities through an intersectional lens. In the future, I hope to provide care for psychiatric patients, with a focus on serving vulnerable communities. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and re-watching my favourite sitcoms and anime!
Stephanie Quon (she/her)
Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie (she/her) and I am a second year medical student at UBC. I did my undergrad in electrical engineering and have experience working on assistive devices, which made me interested in accessibility. In my free time, I enjoy journalling, running, and reading!
