I’ve always loved anything and everything creative. This page contains a few of the various creative projects that I have been a part of and am now excited to share with you!
Enjoy!
This was a fun project to create an engaging video in order to help communicate financial ratios in a UBC economics class.
This was premiered at UBC and is now shown during the course!
Every year the first year class puts together an admissions video for the students interviewing for the program.
Our year was during the peak of COVID times so we had to come up with creative solutions to put together the video!
I was lucky to be able to see the complex and intricate flow of the cleft palate clinic on an away elective at the Alberta Childrens Hospital.
During the time, the staff there noted that they were drawing out a picture of the cleft and its repair to explain the procedure to parents and that it could be useful to have a more formal diagram drawn up.
So inspired by that, this is my attempt at drawing out the cleft repair as a patient education resource.
Every year, the Canadian Association for Medical Education puts out a call for submission to their national art galley “White Coat Warm Art”. There is also a UBC specific gallery “Healing HeART”. I enjoy participating in these galleries every year!
This was my first submission during my first year of medicine. It represents that the heart may seem like a simple pump on the surface but if you just look closer, you will notice the complexity within!
It continues to be displayed in the Virtual Gallery.
This was my submission during my second year of medicine for both the White Coat Warm Art and the Healing HeART collections.
I’ve found that in medicine, we tend to tuck away parts of ourselves and our identities to fit what we think we should be like. This image is supposed to embrace and combine those pieces. It is a fun, playful, bubbly take on an otherwise very serious organ.
This was actually my last years submission for the both White Coat Warm Art and Healing HeART collections.
Just like the AV node is what runs the heart, the AV Code runs this simulation. I started this project thinking “oh yeah, I totally understand the process of a heartbeat”. But having to break it into steps and functions has given me a newfound appreciation for the intricacies involved.
