Graduate Program - Peer Review Committee
The peer review committee is a group composed of both masters and Ph.D students, within the Medical Microbiology department. These individuals work on a volunteer basis to review scholarship applications of other Medical Microbiology students, and provide constructive criticism on ways the student can improve their application.This program initiated by the Medical Microbiology Graduates Student Association, is intended to help all students improve their writing and critical thinking skills. This program will create a graduate student network within the department, facilitating increased communication between students of various laboratories and research interests, to share their ideas and assist one another in their research.
