Family Practice resident wins breast cancer fellowship

Olivia Tseng, a PhD student with UBC’s Interdisciplinary Oncology Program, has been awarded a Telus-Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Fellowship to investigate how interactions with family physicians can improve care for people who have experienced breast cancer.

Tseng, a practising family physician in the Vancouver area and a member of the Clinician Scholar Program of the Department of Family Practice, was one of five fellows who will receive the award, designed to support specialized medical and allied health professional training that will strengthen multidisciplinary care teams focused on improving breast cancer treatment and care.

Her project is focused on improving primary care for breast cancer patients surviving after cancer treatment. For more information, click here.
