There are seven program areas in the Faculty of Medicine: Cancer,
Cardiovascular and Renal Sciences, Clinical Epidemiology, Community
Health, Human Genetics, Immunology and Neurosciences. Each program area
has a coordinator who is responsible to communicate the interests of the
programs to the Faculty of Medicine Graduate Studies Committee and
participate in the admission of graduate students into the graduate
program in Medicine.
The degree of Master of Science (in one of the seven programs listed
above) and Graduate Diplomas in Community Health and Clinical
Epidemiology Research are offered in the Faculty of Medicine to
full-time and part-time students.
