This report highlights the activities and accomplishments of our department members over the past year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Paul Man, Associate Head of Medicine at UBC and Chair, Department of Medicine at Providence Health Care, and Dr. Michael Barnett, Associate Head of Medicine at UBC and Vancouver Hospital, for all of their contributions. Dr. Man and Dr. Barnett are absolutely integral to the function of the Department and all of its strategic initiatives. The Department holds regular external reviews of all divisions as a means of facilitating continuing divisional renewal and accountability. In June 2009, a review was held of the Division of Nephrology. The reviewers were Dr. Eric Yoshida, Professor and Head, UBC Division of Gastroenterology, and Dr. Edward Cole, Professor of Medicine (Nephrology) at the University of Toronto. The Experimental Medicine Program was reviewed in November 2009 by Dr. Helen Burt, Professor and Associate Dean, Research and Graduate Studies, UBC Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Dr. Hugh Bennett, Professor and Director, Division of Experimental Medicine, McGill University. The division and the program will work to integrate the recommendations of the reviewers into their strategic objectives. Endowed chairs bring prestige not only to the department and institution, but also to the faculty member upon whom this honour is bestowed. An endowment also provides the financial support to attract the best and brightest of medicine’s future generation. The UBC Department of Medicine has had phenomenal success in securing endowed chairs. The most recent chair successfully secured in the Department is the Koerner Chair in Neurosciences Endowment, which is held by Dr. Jason Barton, Professor, Division of Neurology and Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. The foundation of all activities in a Department of Medicine is exemplary patient care. Maintaining the highest quality of care has been challenging due to resource constraints but our members continue to provide excellent care to the citizens of Vancouver and the province of British Columbia. In the last year we have implemented an innovative lower mainland wide program for COPD, begun a comprehensive review of endoscopy services and continued to implement the regional stroke strategy.

    TRIUMF Team Welcomes Isotope Investment

    Canada’s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics Laboratoire national canadien pour la recherche en physique nucléaire et en physique des particules News Release | For Immediate Release | February 28, 2013, 9:00 a.m. PST TRIUMF Team Welcomes Isotope Investment (Vancouver, BC) --- The CycloTech99 consortium welcomes the investment by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) through the Isotope Technology Acceleration Program (ITAP) and our partners in provinces, universities, and industry. These funds represent a continued investment from NRCan resulting from our earlier efforts during the Non-reactor-based Isotope Supply Contribution Program (NISP). As announced in February 2012, CycloTech99 has demonstrated the capability to produce the world’s most popular medical isotope, technetium-99m, on medical cyclotrons already installed in Ontario and British Columbia. Our solution in ITAP includes regulatory approval and commercial roll out for a truly national technetium production solution for the benefit of all Canadians, by securing medical isotopes for our patients when the NRU reactor in Chalk River ceases production in 2016. We have a clear pathway to address and stabilize this gap. Principal investigator Paul Schaffer leads the team and is head of TRIUMF’s Nuclear Medicine Division. He said, “The federal government has invested in our team to deliver an innovation for the benefit of all Canadians. We look forward to delivering a domestic solution to the medical isotope crisis in the near future.” “The Harper Government is working to find new ways of producing medical isotopes for the diagnosis of heart disease and cancer in Canadians,” said the Honourable Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources.
