Rohit Malyala grew up in Ontario, and completed his undergraduate studies at McMaster University in Health Sciences. There, he became enamoured with kidney transplant in particular, working with different nephrologists in Toronto and Hamilton to study the kidney from both a wet lab and dry lab perspective. When Rohit came to UBC for medicine, he became exposed to the surgical side of kidney transplant—which was his first introduction to the charismatic staff urologists at UBC. Over the course of medical school, taking on different projects in endourology and transplant, he became convinced that a career in urology was right for him, captured by the technical aspects of the specialty and diversity of procedures. UBC was a top choice with early and substantial surgical exposure, and the compassion and proficiency of the resident group, both inside and outside the OR. Outside of the wards, he is looking forward to exploring beautiful BC by motorcycle, staying active in the gym, and trying out different cafes in Vancouver.
