Evan Ayers, Resident, UBC
Why did you apply to the orthodontic program?
Practicing as an orthodontist will give me the
opportunity to make positive, meaningful, functional and esthetic changes in the patients I
treat. We all know that orthodontics is not a lifeor-death matter; no one has ever died from a
malocclusion. However, treatment of malocclusion can significantly improve psychosocial
measures. As a health care provider, I find that
very rewarding.

Tell me about your orthodontic residency program.
The orthodontic residency at the University of
British Columbia (UBC) is a three-year Master's
program in beautiful Vancouver, BC. Although it is
still relatively new, the orthodontics program at
UBC benefits from the extensive experience of
both our program directors, making it a strong
residency program right out of the gate. UBC is
currently building a new graduate specialty clinic,
which will give us the opportunity to work with
and learn from other specialties in an interdisciplinary and collaborative manner.
What are some highlights of your residency?
I have enjoyed learning from a wide variety of
instructors from all over the province. I am fortunate to have a great group of co-residents to
learn alongside, and the camaraderie we have
formed has served to make the learning process
more efficient and enjoyable. Additionally, in the
third year of our program, we take the American
Board of Orthodontics exam.

What are your plans after graduation?
I plan on being a full-time private practice orthodontist at an undecided location in British
Columbia. After garnering sufficient clinical experience (not to mention paying off educational
debt), I hope to be involved as an instructor at
UBC Graduate Orthodontics.
Are you involved in any activities in PCSO or AAO?
I'm a resident member of the AAO and enjoy the
available webinars and bulletins. I also represent
UBC on the PCSO New and Younger Members
committee. I look forward to becoming further
involved with PCSO.
What benefits do you enjoy from PCSO?
I enjoy reading the PCSO Bulletin and look forward
to learning more about the issues facing young
orthodontists throughout western North America.
The specialty is rapidly changing, and it's essential to be connected and stay on top of these
changes. I've yet to attend a PCSO Annual Session, but am looking forward to doing so this fall.
Tell us about your family and personal interests.
Although I have no children of my own, I have
three young nieces and one young nephew.
They're great, they're a ton of fun, and yet I don't
have the responsibility of looking after them fulltime. Having my own family will likely be on my
agenda post-residency. Aside from the full-time
commitment to UBC, I enjoy spending as much
time outside as possible, whether I'm skiing, running, biking, hiking, or on the beach.
