Resident Doctors Appreciation Week February 9–13, 2026

We’re celebrating Resident Doctors Appreciation Week - a time to recognize the incredible dedication, compassion, and commitment resident doctors bring to patient care every day. Resident doctors play in a vital role in our health care system. These future leaders in medicine work tirelessly to provide exceptional patient care, advance medical knowledge, and support our communities.

Physicians who have completed their medical degree must then complete a residency program in their chosen area of practice. For family medicine physicians this is two years. The residency program is created to give both hands-on experience and technical training to resident doctors to prepare them to become fully licensed physicians and practice without supervision.

Join us in celebrating resident doctors this week and throughout the year.

Welcome to Chickadee, Tara! 🌿

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Tara Freeman, Family Practice Resident from the UBC Family Practice Residency Program, to Chickadee as part of the Rural Immersion program in Chetwynd & Tumbler Ridge.

Originally from Vancouver Island, Tara brings with her a deep love for the outdoors, a strong academic background in Honours Neuroscience, and years of experience advocating for vulnerable communities. Her passion for inclusive care, rural medicine, and meaningful patient connections aligns beautifully with the values we hold at Chickadee.

From managing a hobby farm with goats, chickens, pigs, and a thriving garden, to pursuing diverse and challenging medicine in northern BC, Tara truly embodies the spirit of compassionate, well-rounded care.

We are so excited to have you join our community and look forward to learning and growing together during your time with us. 💙

✨ Welcome to the Chickadee family, Tara

🌿 Welcome to Chickadee, Christian! 🌿

We are pleased to welcome Christian Mustapich, a Family Practice resident with the UBC Northern Rural Program, to Chickadee Collaborative Clinic.

Christian grew up in North Vancouver and completed his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at UBC. Before medical school, he worked as a clinical kinesiologist and spent several years as an athletic trainer with the UBC varsity men’s hockey team. He is now completing his family medicine training with a strong interest in full-scope rural practice.

Outside of medicine, Christian enjoys hiking, skiing, playing hockey, and fly fishing on BC’s beautiful lakes. He is excited to be living and training in the North alongside his partner and looks forward to caring for patients in our community.

Please join us in giving Christian a warm welcome to Chickadee! 🐦💙
