Highlights
Celebrating World Meditation Day!
In ordinary times, health professionals are at an especially high risk for developing stress-related conditions, such as: burnout, depression and anxiety.
Since November 2021, PHSA’s Psychological Health and Safety team and BC Children’s Hospital Center for Mindfulness and its collaborators have been busy making up a beautiful set of tools to support health care workers.
‘The Loving Kindness Card for Health Care Providers’ and ‘A More Mindful Hospital’ card deck are business card size and were designed to fit neatly into your pocket or ID lanyard.
Comprised of simple micro-practices these cards were co-created with input from several groups at the C&W worksite.
Did you know that Meditation has been scientifically proven to have positive mental and physical effect when practiced regularly? Some of the key benefits of meditation include:
· Help with anxiety
· Stress reduction
· Focussed attention
Request these resources today for yourself or to use for a team-building activity.

Happy National Physicians’ Day on May 1, 2022! Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Nancy Lanphear, Clinical Associate Professor
Dr. Nancy Lanphear
Dr. Nancy Lanphear, Clinical Associate Professor nominated by Dr. Esther Lee, Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, BC Children’s Hospital, UBC & BCCH
What is your role?
Clinical Associate Professor
Head, Division of Developmental Pediatrics
Senior Medical Director, Child Development and Rehabilitation
Please indicate the centre or clinic you work at.
Sunny Hill at BC Children’s Hospital
What do you enjoy most about your role?
I enjoy leading a great group of people at Sunny Hill, the BC leader in Child Development and Rehabilitation. We strive for high quality, family centered care.
What prompted you to get into your area of health care?
I believe that all children and their families have a place in the world and the ability to contribute. The field of Developmental Pediatrics gives me the opportunity to provide parents clarity and information that may help them in raising a child with developmental needs.
What would you say to someone interested in joining this line of work?
Child Development gives you the opportunity to bring together the medical and physical needs with the emotional and psycho-social needs of the child and family. The relationships that you will create with colleagues, families and the kids will make you smile, laugh, and may break your heart.
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
I am proud of the teaching and mentorship that I have provided to medical students, residents, subspecialty trainees, and colleagues. I have grown from these relationships and value the ability to impact future generations of physicians.
I am also proud of the move of Sunny Hill to the main campus of BC Children’s. We created a world class child development and rehabilitation center in collaboration with many families, providers, foundation partners and leadership.
Happy National Physicians’ Day on May 1, 2022! Faculty Spotlights: Dr. Anas Manouzi, Clinical Instructor and Dr. Eva Moore, Clinical Associate Professor
We will be featuring outstanding faculty all week to celebrate National Physicians’ Day.
Dr. Anas Manouzi
Dr. Anas Manouzi, Clinical Instructor and 2020-2022 Hudson Scholar in Equity Diversity and Inclusion nominated by Dr. Laura Sauvé, Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, BC Children’s Hospital, UBC & BCCH
What is your role? Please indicate the centre or clinic you work at.
I work as a Pediatric Emergency Physician at BC Children’s Hospital. I serve as the clinical lead for Health Equity and Anti-Racism within the ED. This work is supported through the Hudson Scholar program. I am also helping coordinate the response to the opioid-related overdose public health emergency.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
I enjoy teaching trainees under my supervision about concrete ways to advance Health Equity in their clinical practice. Simple things like adopting non-stigmatizing language, moving away from race-based medicine when making clinical decisions, or enquiring about financial barriers to afford essential medications allow us to become better advocates. Ever since I started my Health Equity and Anti-racism leadership role, I have been amazed by the support and engagement of my colleagues in the ED. I feel very lucky to work with a fantastic group of health professionals, non-clinical staff, and educators who understand the importance of this work and the impacts it has on patient care.
What prompted you to get into your area of health care?
The Emergency Department plays a unique social justice role in our society. The ED stays open 24/7, there are no waitlists or admission criteria. Anyone who comes to the ED will eventually get attended to, regardless of the perceived severity of their presentation. Unfortunately, our medical system fails to provide equitable care to those made most vulnerable by systemic discrimination. Being able to provide medical care to those who “fall through the cracks” and to advocate on their behalf is a determining factor in my decision to be a Pediatric Emergency Physician.
What would you say to someone interested in joining this line of work?
Racism and other intersecting forms of oppression are unfortunately pervasive within our institutions. Trying to change these rigid systems cannot happen by working alone. My advice: surround yourself with people who are not afraid to reflect on their own biases and to change their practices. In order to achieve social justice in health care, we must build coalitions.
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
Delivering my first Grand Rounds talk at the UBC Department of Pediatrics as a Hudson Scholar in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was a very memorable moment for me. After completing my residency and fellowship trainings at BC Children’s Hospital, I felt very honored to have the opportunity to teach my mentors and colleagues about the dangers of race-based medicine and why Anti-Racism must be recognized as a required professional competency.
Dr. Eva Moore
Dr. Eva Moore, Clinical Associate Professor nominated by Sabrina Gill, BSN, Nurse Clinician Adolescent Medicine and Health, UBC & BC Children’s Hospital
What is your role?
Clinical Associate Professor, Division of Adolescent Health and Medicine
Investigator, BC Children’s Hospital Research Foundation
Program Director, Subspecialty Residency in Adolescent Medicine, University of British Columbia
McCreary Centre Society, Board member
Juvenile Justice Special Interest Group, Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, member & group facilitator
Please indicate the centre or clinic you work at:
Eva is an Adolescent Medicine Specialist in the Division of Adolescent Health and Medicine Division. Eva currently works at these clinics:
Adolescent Health Clinic: I strive for a youth friendly practice, focusing on positive youth development and resilience, and health equity for adolescent who experience marginalization. As a specialized multidisciplinary pediatric team serves adolescents who experience chronic illness and psychosocial challenges such as mental health and substance use disorders.
Provincial Eating Disorders Program: I provide inpatient and outpatient consultation of children and adolescents in the mental health provincial program (tier 4) and assessment of new patients referred to the program with suspected eating disorders.
RICHER Program (Responsive Intersectoral Child Health Education Research, a social pediatrics program in inner-city Vancouver): As part of an interdisciplinary team with community consultation, serves the health of Vancouver youth adversely affected by social determinants of health. I built several regular clinics and provided consultation at weekly community meetings with allied health providers. I am on numerous community tables and initiatives to address health issues from a multi-leveled, intersectoral approach.
Pinnacle Program Alternative School: I serve as the onsite adolescent medicine consultant for 20 senior secondary school students involved with the foster care system and/or youth probations with severe behavioral and mental health school designations
What do you enjoy most about your role?
What I love most is hearing people’s stories and standing side by side with them on some of the most significant parts of their journey. I love seeing people find their path and to help them have the health that they need to enjoy what is most important to them. I love working with youth which is a time in their lives where they are changing rapidly and growing. I enjoy seeing them come into themselves.
My job allows me to have multiple roles, as an educator, a clinician, and a researcher. I enjoy working with other that are passionate about youth and seeing them coming into themselves. Teamwork is important with me, and I love working with people from different backgrounds, professions, and who carry their own experiential journey which may be different from mine.
I am drawn to working with youth and families who are marginalized by our social structures. This is my commitment to social justice. I want to improve health equity and decrease health disparities for our most vulnerable populations. I aim to give all people a voice.
What prompted you to get into your area of health care?
I went into medicine because I loved science, critical thinking, and bringing an evidence base to my work. I was a chemistry major, but I found basic science to be too far removed from the impact of what we were working on. I wanted to use my critical thinking skills for something that improved humanity. My first job in health, as I was applying to medical school, happened to be working with youth in the inner city of Philadelphia. I came to love these young people and their sense of curiosity and energy as we explored the city together, taking on challenges of how to improve health care for teenagers. More then anything, I learned from them, and this was a foundational experience. During medical school, I was part of many health care teams, but I was most empowered by young people and seek to find a sense of belonging and to help them make the changes they want to see.
What would you say to someone interested in joining this line of work?
I would tell someone who wants to go into this field to follow their passions and to love the journey. Take the time that you need to explore what is important to you and what has meaning to you. It’s not about the destination, but instead the things you do along the way.
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
I have many things to be proud and grateful for. One of things I hold in high regard is my relationships with my colleagues, and the teams that I get to be a part of. My colleagues describe as someone who is very mindful, compassionate and humble. These connections with these colleagues, working together towards common goals are so valuable.
I’m proud that my role reaches beyond the walls of my institution and reaches young people in their schools and communities. I have built partnerships and meaningful connections by engaging community leaders, indigenous partner, youth workers, government agencies and youth. It means so much to me when a youth worker or teacher calls me directly about a young person who needs help. For some of our youth, this is the only way they can establish trust in healthcare.
I have been involved in leadership and collaboration to create an urgent paradigm shift in how we care for adolescents with substance youth. This includes multiple committees, presentations and research partnerships to bring an interdisciplinary and multi-layered approach to improving care for adolescents affected by substance use overdoses, now one of the leading causes of death for adolescents.
Specifically, this effort is to focus on increasing capacity of pediatricians and pediatric hospitals to care for youth with serious substance use, both in BC and across Canada. I have arranged my patient to be the first year in Canada to receive a life saving medication, Sublocade. This paved the way for more to follow and is an example of my advocacy and partner relationship and working towards best practice and evidenced based medicine for youth who are at risk of death due to opioid overdose.
Happy National Physicians’ Day on May 1, 2022! Faculty Spotlights: Dr. Janis Dionne & Dr. Jasmine Cohen
We will be featuring outstanding faculty all week to celebrate National Physicians’ Day.
Dr. Janis Dionne
Roles:
Medical Director Chronic Kidney Care BCCH, Medical Director of Pediatric Kidney Services with BC Renal, world-renown hypertension expert, current President of Canadian Association of Paediatric Nephrologists
Centre/Clinic:
BCCH, Pediatric Nephrology, Chronic Kidney Care Clinic, Pediatric Hypertension Clinic
What do you enjoy most about your role?
I appreciate the opportunity to develop a genuine connection with patients and families that I have cared for years. Working in the Chronic Kidney Care Clinic, where most children with kidney disease are diagnosed at a young age, I get to help care for children and their families for most of their childhood and help to keep them feeling well while they grow-up.
What prompted you to get into your area of health care?
I was inspired about Pediatric Nephrology when I worked with an excellent mentor, Dr. Verna Yiu, during my medical school training. She showed me the variety of childhood kidney conditions that range from benign urinary disorders to those that require dialysis and renal transplantation and the nephrologists’ role in reassurance and guidance for these patients and families.
What would you say to someone interested in joining this line of work?
For anyone considering medicine as a career I would recommend that they pursue it only if their heart is really in it. Life as a physician can be challenging but is so rewarding if you love what you do. Pediatric Nephrology is a great combination of acute and chronic care, excitement and long-term relationships.
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
I don’t think that my proudest accomplishment is an award or research achievement but more the impact you can have on a patient and families’ life. When they smile or sigh with relief when they see me coming to see them then I know that I have gained their trust and confidence as their medical care provider that I will do what is in their child’s best interest. It’s an honour to be a part of their life journey.
Dr. Jasmine Cohen

What prompted you to get into your area of health care?
I love seeing them succeed and reach their potential.
What would you say to someone interested in joining this line of work?
My biggest advice for anyone seeking to be a pediatrician: Anchor in your community. Our role as general pediatricians extend beyond the hospital and acute illnesses!
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
raising 2 teenage boys.

Building the first Canadian national pediatric diabetes registry
Dr. Shazhan Amed and Dr. Elodie Portales-Casamar
CAPACIty is co-funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, JDRF and Diabetes Canada and works from a lens of equity, diversity and inclusion and prioritizes indicators of inequality, their strategies will stand to positively impact the most disadvantaged children and youth living with diabetes in Canada.
The CAPACIty registry aims to address Canada’s need for:
- data reflecting everyday characteristics and lived experience of young people with diabetes, along with long-term health outcomes;
- increased understanding about regional differences in diabetes care and how care might be improved; and
- practical ways to use this data to improve care for kids, with the values of equity, diversity and inclusion informing each step.
“Once these needs are met, we will have a better understanding of what’s missing from the health care that pediatric diabetes patients currently receive,” said Dr. Amed, the nominated principal investigator for CAPACIty.
“Our goal is to provide more equitable diabetes care for children and youth in Canada, and ensure quality and consistency of care across the nation.”

Mr. John Jacob
Congratulations to Drs. Shelina Babul and Paul van Donkelaar!
Congratulations to Drs. Shelina Babul and Paul van Donkelaar who have received a Health Innovation Funding Investment (HIFI) Award: https://www.med.ubc.ca/news/faculty-of-medicine-researchers-awarded-funding-for-interdisciplinary-health-research/ for their project that will use virtual reality to help police recognize signs and symptoms of brain injury from concussion and strangulation in intimate partner violence.
The project is led by Dr. Shelina Babul, UBC Vancouver Clinical Professor and BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit Associate Director, and Dr. Paul Van Donkelaar, UBC Okanagan Professor and co-founder of SOAR (Supporting Survivors of Abuse and Brain Injury through Research).
The training tool will contain scenarios with possible head injury or strangulation events, enabling law enforcement to make more informed decisions about what to look for and when to seek medical support in a timely manner.
Intimate partner violence, or IPV, also known as domestic violence, family violence, and gender-based violence, disproportionately affects women, including those who are Indigenous, Black, people of colour, and sexual and gender minorities. It is estimated 230,000 women in Canada suffer severe physical violence at the hands of a partner every year. Up to 92% of these women may also experience a brain injury.
As police officers are often first on the scene to cases of IPV, the goal of this tool is to equip them with the knowledge and awareness needed to support increased recognition of when a brain injury may have occurred. The tool will aim to get faster medical attention to survivors of violence, ultimately reducing health care inequities and improving health outcomes.
“Too often, brain injuries and head trauma go unrecognized and undiagnosed in situations of intimate partner violence,” said Dr. Babul. “We’re excited to use virtual reality to create realistic scenarios that will help law enforcement make decisions so that women get the care they need quickly.”
The tool will be evaluated in three RCMP jurisdictions in BC using pre- and post-training surveys and a review of IPV-related information found in police records.
“We want participants to come out of this knowing how prevalent brain injury from IPV is, able to recognize signs and symptoms, and prepared to get women the care they need,” says van Donkelaar. “Because this virtual reality tool will let police officers learn and practice new skills in an immersive, but lower-stress environment, we believe it will create higher confidence levels and a greater chance they’ll be able to apply what they learn on the job.”
Drs. Babul and Donkelaar will work with the Digital Lab (https://www.bcchdigital.ca/) at BC Children’s Hospital to develop the training tool. Funding will be provided through the UBC Health Innovation Funding Investment (HIFI) Awards (https://www.med.ubc.ca/news/faculty-of-medicine-researchers-awarded-funding-for-interdisciplinary-health-research/) which were created to promote cross-faculty and cross-campus research.
In the past, Drs. Babul and van Donkelaar collaborated on an e-learning course to help professionals working with women survivors of IPV recognize brain injury and learn tools to offer support.
