Hi, I’m Shanna Yeung, a family medicine resident in Calgary. I attended medical school at the University of British Columbia

I am passionate about improving healthcare through research and serving socially and economically disadvantaged populations. 

I love the intellectual challenge of research. By better understanding our bodies, diseases and treatments, we can  help patients of all backgrounds get better.

During medical school, I was involved in charity community outreach providing healthcare access to socio-economically disadvantaged populations. With The Eyeglasses project, we organize vision screenings and free glasses for residents of the Downtown Eastside, immigrants facing language barriers, Syrian refugee families, and more. I’m also passionate about advocating for inclusivity for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairments. I founded the organization Vision Health Volunteers to organize impactful initiatives to spread awareness of ocular conditions and to empower individuals with vision loss.

I founded Music Outreach Society which organizes volunteers to perform concerts for marginalized populations such as Downtown Eastside Women’s shelter patrons, children with disabilities, and seniors in residential care. I have worked with a variety of patient populations in jobs as a Research Assistant working with individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, Care Assistant to a quadriplegic individual,  Event Medical Services Attendant and First Nations & Rural Health practicum student.

I created a premed mentorship Youtube channel to help premeds having difficulty accessing mentorship due to COVID-19. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpjGo58TOY5ZGwKp_9iScjw

I’ve been co-runing a popular food photography Instagram blog for 4 years. We reached out to and promoted locally-owned small businesses to support them when they were negatively impacted by COVID-19. http://shannayeung.com/indecisive-eaters-media-kit/
