What courses will I be taking?

---

 

Our courses are taught by faculty members of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and other UBC departments. Most hold MD or PhD degrees in the subjects they teach and are nationally and internationally recognized experts in their fields. Many are practising Pathologists and most are involved in state-of-the-art research in their discipline. The Department is recognized as one of the finest in North America and therefore the quality of instruction is extremely high.

The following courses must be completed to obtain the degree. Course descriptions.
