Jaron attended medical school at the University of Calgary and completed his Family Medicine Residency at UBC’s Faculty of Medicine in 2018. Dr Easterbrook also has a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Victoria and an MBA in International Marketing from the University of Toronto.

Before he started practicing medicine, Jaron spent 15 years in marketing, most recently as a National Marketing Manager (Post-Secondary) for Apple and a Product Manager for EMR & Integration with Canada Health Infoway. He made the switch to medicine after shadowing an ICU physician.

Building on his interest in organizational change, Dr Easterbrook is active at a provincial level through his role as a Doctors of BC-appointee to the Family Practice Services Committee—a collaborative committee with the Ministry of Health focussed on improving primary care. In this role he Co-Chairs the FPSC Information Sharing Task Group, and is the FPSC Medical Lead responsible for the pilot of a provincial locum program, taking place in Greater Victoria. He is also the FPSC Medical Lead for the provincial pilot of an after hours program that will see patients able to speak with a family physician for urgent/semi-urgent medical issues evenings, weekends and overnight, when their physician’s office is closed. 

He is passionate about knowledge transfer, sharing tools, and resources to reduce workloads and improve practices for family doctors across the province. He is committed to longitudinal family medicine and also works as a hospitalist at Saanich Peninsula Hospital.
