Reporting to the Director, Undergraduate Medical Education and the Associate Head of Education, UBC Department of Medicine, the DSSL will work extensively with Year 3 students and staff of the UBC Faculty of Medicine at the SPH site. The Department of Medicine includes 18 divisions with faculty located throughout the province of British Columbia. We are the largest department in the Faculty of Medicine, with over 1,500 faculty and staff. The Department provides excellence in research, teaching, and clinical services related to the nature, cause, and prevention of adult diseases. The UBC Department of Medicine has training programs at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels, and pursues research to make innovative advancements in knowledge and practice to improve health. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2023, or upon a date to be mutually agreed. This is a role requiring a time commitment of 0.20 FTE (1 day per week) for a 1 year term and is expected to be filled by a candidate internal to the faculty. 26 – 29 August, 2011.The Department of Medicine at The University of British Columbia (UBC) invites applications for the position of Discipline Specific Site Lead (DSSL) at St Paul’s Hospital (SPH).

Walkability as an Urban Design Problem: Understanding the activity of walking in the urban environment. The emprical study from this project investigates the complexity of walking and how it is related to the the built environment.through anthropologically based field studies in three areas in Stockholm. The findings from this project try to provide insights into how we can better understand the interaction between the built environment and walking behavior in influencing each other. Its goal is to integrate knowledge from the medical field of walkability with urban design research and provide new empirical knowledge about the concrete level in which urban design and architectural practice operates. Therefore, there is a growing need for knowledge about the walkability of the built environment. This project aims to support urban design knowledge and practice and to contribute to the broader field of “walkability” by refining the methods and measures used to analyze the relation between walking behavior and physical environment. The planning and design of the walkable environment is receiving more and more attention for its various benefits related to public health, sustainability, economy, or social life.
