A resident physician at the University of Ottawa’s faculty of medicine who was suspended over pro-Palestinian social media posts says he’s been reinstated but has no plans to return to the institution.
Dr. Yipeng Ge, 29, was sanctioned by the university last November after it got several complaints about a series of pro-Palestinian posts he’d made, ones that included references to “apartheid” and “settler colonialism.”
At the time of his suspension, Ge had been a fourth-year public health and preventive medicine resident and was completing a residency at the Public Health Agency of Canada.
His research has focused on Indigenous health, anti-racism and decolonization.
