This involves mainly teaching 1st year med students & precepting residents, OSCE evaluating, interviewing

I volunteer on the steering committee of @sacovidtf, our mandate has been to amplify Public Health messaging for the South Asian Community, coming out of a community need during #COVID19.
The work continues in bridging the cultural health gap that continues.

Have been very fortunate to be awarded this year from @BCCFP:
College Coin
Exceptional Teacher Award
First Five Years in Practice Award

9/ Goals
Through all the work I do, I aim to educate, be willing to learn more & advocate for Family Medicine Reform.
Longitudinal Family Medicine is in crisis in BC & Canada as a whole.
We must modernize & be innovative in team-based approaches with improved infrastructure.
10/ Time & Place
As we recognize #neverforget1984, I recognize the privilege of this position living in Canada where I have been given this opportunity as a turban wearing Sikh.
In 1984,in these days, in India my appearance would have been a target for state sponsored genocide.

First dose Dec 20 & second dose Jan 31st.
At the time we weren't sure what optimal dosing interval was & had ongoing supply issues, so many got 2 doses at varying shorter intervals.
Now we know ~12 weeks is a good interval, but also are seeing waning immunity.
3/ Waning Immunity
Data is showing our antibody levels to #COVID19 are decreasing, but that doesn't mean our overall immunity is, as we are seeing by our vaccine effectiveness data in BC.
But, in BC we still are losing too many ppl, almost 50 have passed in last week.
