RESEARCH MATTERS

On behalf of the Research and Graduate Studies Office we'd like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, and we hope the winter break provided some much needed respite.  As we begin this new year, we are very pleased to announce that applications for the Masters of Medical Studies Program will open January 18th and remain open until February 26th.  Full details can be found on the MMS Website. We encourage those interested in the program to explore the website, and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the program directly.  This will be the second cohort of the MMS program, and we continue to grow, adding more supervisors, and expanding our depth and breadth of research areas.  We are looking forward to the year ahead and all the possibilities it will bring.

Happy Reading and Happy Researching!
