UBC’s Public Scholars Initiative has announced seven new Faculty of Medicine doctoral students for the 2022/23 academic year.

Now entering its eighth year, the Public Scholars Initiative recognizes UBC doctoral students who are doing research that extends beyond the traditional approach. These students are doing work for the public good, in collaborative, interdisciplinary ways. The scholars are from nearly every faculty and discipline, and showcase the breadth and depth of research at UBC.
