Community Teacher of the Year Award
Dr Malyha Alibhai was born in Kenya, and was raised in England, India, Pakistan and Canada. She was interested in Medicine from a young age, and went on to attend the University of Nottingham Medical School from 2005-2010 in the UK.She also was awarded a Bachelor of Medical Sciences degree for research undertaken in her third year, and graduated medical school with Honours in 2010. She was fortunate enough to be accepted to the Family Medicine residency program in Regina in 2010. Having lived most of her teenage life in Ottawa, her initial plan was to finish residency and then move back, but Regina grew on her and she has now been working for just over 3 years as a family physician.
Her special interests are women’s health and pediatrics. She divides her time between her family practice, assisting in the OR, working at the South Saskatchewan Women’s Clinic and Planned Parenthood. She has thoroughly enjoyed involving residents and medical students in her practice to enhance their hands-on skills and build up their patient experience, especially in women’s health.
