Meet Dr. Dylan Ehman, DSSL for BC Children’s Hospital.
Did you know that Discipline Specific Site Leaders (DSSLs) are the representatives for the Department of Pediatrics at the distributed medical school sites across the province? They are education leaders for our students and postgraduate trainees, and are responsible for logistics management, evaluation and liaising between local faculty and our central administrative office. DSSLs are community pediatricians with a keen interest in medical education – the success of our distributed programs depends on these committed individuals.

He completed the Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship at BC Children’s Hospital and has since been working as a clinical associate and attending staff in the clinical teaching unit. He recently started as the UBC undergraduate medicine Pediatrics Site Lead for BC Children’s Hospital. He also works as a consultant pediatrician in the community.
Welcome Dr. Dylan Ehman!
