Michael has demonstrated tremendous commitment to the UBC Health Mentorship Program.
This program is designed for health experts, such as Michael, to mentor a group of students entering the healthcare field. As a former student member of this program, I had the privilege of being mentored by Michael and I can attest to his exceptional passion for helping others.
Michael’s commitment to the program and his desire to inspire future healthcare professionals were evident in his facilitation of discussions, his willingness to share vulnerable aspects of his story, and his continuous efforts to push past barriers in his life.
Throughout the eight-month mentorship, Michael guided discussions and provided insight into the “client perspective”. He brought in guest speakers, encouraged reflection, and remained open to answering questions. Michael’s slogan, “anything is possible if you believe” reflects his determination to overcome obstacles and his dedication to making the healthcare system a safe and caring environment for everyone. Michael’s passion for giving back and encouraging others to be the best version of themselves is truly inspiring. Michael is a skilled mentor and an inspiration to anyone who has known him.
Sincerely,
