Back to School
The University department office is buzzing as preparations are well underway for the new academic year. This year we will welcome a record 17 undergraduate students into our Bachelor of Medical Sciences modules. Nine new research-based graduate student offers have been accepted and six new MClSc Pathologists’ Assistant program students will be arriving. We look forward to seeing all these new faces in the department in just a few short weeks.
