Resident Talent Night, the UBC Resident Wellness Office’s most anticipated event of the year, will be taking place on Thurs. Sept. 26! Resident Talent Night celebrates the resident community’s many talents beyond medicine, including musicians, spoken word poets, singer-songwriters, dancers, martial artists, magicians, acrobats, comedians, and more. It’s also a chance to showcase resident photography, painting and drawing submissions through an art exhibit.
All residents across all programs are invited to attend this free event showcasing the incredible talents of your colleagues and peers. It’s a great reason to plan a social with your colleagues, either by attending as a group or by tuning into the live webcast, and for those at distributed sites who will have academic activities in Vancouver scheduled around Sept. 26, we encourage you to join us if you can.
