Welcome to the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Graduate Studies Program!

• Our award winning program is recognized by students and faculty as one of the best “student centered” research training opportunities at UBC.
• We recruit trainees with BMLSc, BSc, MD, and DDV degrees in disciplines such as biology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics and medicine.
• All incoming students must demonstrate a strong commitment to medical research though prior research experience or quality references from university faculty members who speak highly of the student’s potential as a researcher.
• The vast majority of research projects offer focus on molecular and cellular biology but all study the mechanism of disease.
• We do not train physicians for careers in Clinical Pathology.
• Our supervisors all hold appointments in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and the majority are national and international opinion leaders in their fields.
• Our graduates are highly successful and enter into careers such as professional (academic) researchers, research scientist leaders in biotechnology companies, corporate representatives in pharmaceutical companies, physicians, lawyers, and even accountants!

Our website is intended for those trainees who are considering applying to our program and those who are already accepted.   We hope the information is useful but if you cant find what you need please email our first point of contact at Graduate Admissions
