My name is Drew Phillips and I’m a BC boy through and through. I was born and raised in Port Alberni, BC and completed an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of Victoria. I worked for 1 year in a research lab at UVic investigating syphilis vaccine candidates before ultimately starting medical school in UBC’s Southern Medical Program in Kelowna, BC. I feel privileged to be continuing my medical education as one of the new UBC Urology residents. I look forward to getting to know and working with everyone over the next 5 years. Outside of the hospital I like to spend my time playing sports or board games with friends. I have recently been getting into multiday hiking, and recently returned from climbing Tanzania’s Mt. Kilimanjaro – a 5,895m trek. Hopefully I’ll be able to take advantage of some the mainland’s many beautiful mountains and trails during my time in Vancouver!
