Graduate Report

We hope the Holiday Season afforded you an opportunity to spend time with loved ones and get a bit of well-deserved rest while keeping healthy. Our warmest wishes for a Happy New Year.

Dr. Sudit Ranade traveled in December from the Yukon, where he is the Medical Officer of Health, to defend his PhD thesis entitled “The Population-Centered Medical Model: A Theory of Practice for Public Health and Preventative Medicine”. His thesis was an outstanding success. Dr. Ranade has already published one paper from his thesis and he is preparing additional manuscripts from his thesis.

Graduate students are busy with the second half of their full credit courses and some are commencing an additional half credit course.  Others are working diligently on their research studies for completion of the MClSc or PhD degrees.

A reminder that our Graduate Program (MClSc/PhD) applications opened January 1. We would appreciate if you would keep our programs in mind when speaking with residents with a strong interest in teaching/research or colleagues in the community. Please send them our way. Of course, we always welcome our clinical faculty to apply.
