At events across the province in late 2019 and early 2020, members of the UBC Faculty of Medicine community came together to celebrate the contributions of our faculty, staff, students and learners who are bringing our vision to life every day, and also provided their input into the development of the values that will shape the Faculty’s activities, interactions and decisions in the years ahead.

Read our consultation report to learn more about how we engaged, and how our values are helping us to move towards a people-centric desired culture that actively supports the achievement of the Faculty’s vision.

From a list of approximately 475 values contributed by the Faculty community, the following five values emerged to the top as our core values:

Respect

Regard felt or shown towards different people, ideas and actions
