Victoria Chan

By dcc2012 | August 24, 2023

Hometown: Burnaby, B.C.
Program: Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science
Year in Program: 3
What inspired you to pursue your program?

I enjoy the variety of topics covered in the Medical Laboratory Science program including microscopy, pathology, histology, hematology, toxicology and clinical chemistry. Learning how some of the courses combine aspects of the life sciences while relating it to our health was fascinating. I also enjoyed the opportunity to learn and apply hands-on lab techniques. The program is also quite tight-knit which allows you to get to know your fellow classmates and professors.

Why did you choose UBC?

When I was applying to university, I knew I wanted to do something in science. I felt that being at UBC, with so many different programs to explore, would give me the opportunity to find something I enjoyed while also being near my family.

If you could travel anywhere in B.C. where would you go and why?

I would travel somewhere in the Interior surrounded by nature and lots of mountains. I think it would be a calming experience.
