Resident of the Month

Arshdeep Marwaha, PGY3, Internal Medicine

Hi, my name is Arshdeep Marwaha, and I was born and raised in Delta, BC. I stayed close to home for school, completing both my undergrad and medical training at UBC, which gave me a strong foundation and community along the way. I’m now in my third year of Internal Medicine residency, where I’ve had the privilege of serving as Lead Medical Resident and Wellness Coordinator. Earlier in my training, I also represented my colleagues as the First-Year Rep, roles that have let me support both the program and my peers. Outside of medicine, I love staying active. I spend my free time weightlifting at the gym, hiking new trails, and biking. Being outdoors and moving keeps me grounded and helps me bring my best self back to work and life.

I also want to make sure to thank my colleagues including the internal medicine admonitors, my co-loads, and co-residents.

Here are some of the reasons Arshdeep was chosen as Resident of the Month (As quoted from the nomination letter):

"Empathy is the cornerstone of Arshdeep’s approach to medicine. Whether he is advocating for fair scheduling, checking in on a struggling co-resident, or sitting at a patient’s bedside during a difficult moment, Arshdeep leads with compassion and genuine understanding. Colleagues often remark on how seen and supported they feel in his presence. He has an intuitive sense for when someone needs encouragement or space, and his emotional intelligence fosters a sense of psychological safety within the team. He is the kind of resident who lifts others up—not just through his words, but through quiet acts of care that speak volumes."

Congratulations, Arshdeep!
