Vivian Chow
Dr. Chow originated from Windsor, Ontario where she completed Dental School at the University of Western Ontario. Upon graduating in 2008 she made a significant decision to relocate to Vancouver. Throughout her academic journey, Dr. Chow’s unwavering commitment to excellence as well as to the community led her to be honoured as a finalist for the distinguished Rhodes Scholar Program, a recognition that highlights her exceptional academic and community achievements.
Driven by a passion for working with children, she began volunteering in high school. Her commitment extended throughout dental school where she dedicated her time and effort to after school programs for underprivileged youngsters. Throughout school Dr. Chow witnessed a noticeable gap between students who had ample opportunities and those who did not. It was during this time that she became inspired to make a positive difference for these children that are less privileged. She strongly believes that each child has a unique gift and given the opportunity, they have the potential to flourish and thrive. This is why the CLICK foundation resonates so strongly with Dr. Chow who is honoured to be part of a team dedicated to providing opportunities for inner-city kids.
In addition to being actively engaged in her children's school and local church, Dr. Chow serves as President of the Parent Support Group, a board member for Richmond Christian School Elementary Campus, as well as serving on the Parish Pastoral Council at St. Joseph the Worker Parish. Also, her contributions to the dental community have included serving as a member of the Board of Directors as well as Past President for the Vancouver and District Dental Society (VDDS). Furthermore, she generously shares her knowledge and expertise as a part-time clinical instructor at the UBC Faculty of Dentistry, nurturing the aspiring dental professionals.
Outside the realm of dentistry, Dr. Chow finds simple joys in savouring delicious food, exploring her culinary skills, and spending time with her husband and three young children.
