Biography
Dr. Maurice joined the Northern Medical Program (NMP) in 2007 as a Basic Science Instructor. In 2023 he began a tenure track professorship. He is currently also the NMP Assistant Dean and NMP Assistant Director of Histology. His primary area of teaching focus is histopathology in the pre-clinical years. His teaching practice is heavily influenced by the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) which values student-centred, peer-based, and participatory learning. In 2022 he received Canada’s highest post-secondary teaching honour, as he was named a 3M National Teaching Fellow. Since 2010, he has led the Healthcare Travelling Roadshow as an initiative to address rural health workforce recruitment and retention. This has grown to a provincial initiative and has now (as of 2025) visited over 16,500 youth in 102 community visits throughout northern and rural B.C.
