Back to School Q&A – Blake Birnie

By Warren Brock on August 9, 2018

Blake Birnie - Back to SchoolBlake Birnie
Southern Medical Program: Year 2
Hometown: Born in Abbotsford, raised in Kelowna.

What inspired you to pursue your program?
Without writing a novel. Medicine aligned with multiple of my interests and I have a phenomenal family doctor who has been one of my role models since my childhood/adolescence.

What are you looking forward to most this upcoming year?
Putting together an intramural sports team with the class of 2021. Meeting SMP’s class of 2022. Convincing the class of 2022 to make an intramural team. Beating the class of 2022’s team.

Best piece of advice
Season your steaks and let them warm to room temperature before throwing them on the grill.

First job
Paper route in elementary school!

What’s next on your BC bucket list?
West Coast Trail
