“I’ve had a few adults and mentors in my life who have made a really big difference and have always been around for me, and I really valued that relationship.'
Dr. Rachel Cook, a resident training at the UBC Family Medicine site in Kamloops, said both her parents suffered from substance use, which caused her to bounce between homes.“When I was 14, things sort of fell apart. And I ended up in the foster care system for about 14 to 19 when I aged out.”
“I’ve had a few adults and mentors in my life who have made a really big difference and have always been around for me, and I really valued that relationship," she said.In family medicine, a physician will see a patient through their struggles and walk them through all aspects of their life. Cook said she now has positive relationships with both her parents, neither of whom are in the throes of addiction.
She is planning on pursuing additional residency training before establishing her family practice in Kamloops where she hopes to work with patients experiencing addictions, homelessness and HIV infection, as well as those seeking gender-affirming care.
