INTRODUCTION/NEWS

Every spring, UBC medical and dental students put on a showcase displaying their incredible talents outside of academia in the elegant setting of the UBC Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. The evening in the past has been filled with such memorable performances ranging from classical music pieces to opera singing to elegant ballet and funky hip-hop routines, to poignant poetry readings, tae-kwon do and comedic acts.

The annual UBC Medical & Dental Spring Gala is a non-profit production organized completely by students. Every year, we choose a local charity to support.
