Juliana Kan

Juliana is our first international fellow from Singapore. She completed her Internal Medicine and Advanced Internal Medicine residencies in Singapore, and is working as an Internist in Singapore General Hospital. She is excited to spend her fellowship honing her POCUS skills, learning more advanced POCUS applications, and broadening her experience in POCUS  education, research, and quality improvement. Juliana is thrilled to explore our healthcare system and culture, while being surrounded by the beauty and nature of Canada. When she's not rambling on about all things POCUS, she enjoys travelling and making videos on medical humour.

Previous Fellows

Michael Cheung

Michael completed his core Internal Medicine and GIM subspecialty training at the Université de Montréal, followed by a MSc in Tropical Medicine and International Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He is fascinated with the increasing number of potential applications of PoCUS, especially as a portable diagnostic tool in remote and resource limited settings. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the accordion and perfecting his Italian cooking skills.   

Ben Schwartzentruber

Ben is a General Internal Medicine fellow with an interest in medical education and spreading the role of PoCUS to improve diagnosis and procedural safety. He was raised on the beautiful coast of British Columbia and took up medicine after retiring from a long, satisfying career selling books. He has completed all of his medical training at the University of British Columbia and has been thrilled to explore its wild places on rotations all across the province. When he's not scanning, he can be found hiking, cooking, reading, or losing at chess. He will be spending half of his PGY5 year learning PoCUS and the other half as a Thrombosis Fellow.

Ziran Meng

Ziran completed his core Internal Medicine at the University of Manitoba. He is currently completing his GIM training at Dalhousie University. POCUS has unequivocally changed his clinical practice, especially in the management of complex multisystem patients. POCUS is arguably essential for the internist and he can't wait to become an expert through the fellowship program at UBC!

Terry Chu

Terry is a general internist based out of Royal Columbian Hospital. As the pilot fellow for the Ultrasound Fellowship at UBC, he has thoroughly enjoyed his time learning basic echocardiography, delving into the world of VeXUS, practicing vascular access, and assisting PoCUS rotation residents with image acquisition and procedural safety.
