He is interested in strengthening relationships between the University and the region and plans to be a frequent visitor.

Health Science Expansion From the local graduation of Nurses to expanded local opportunities for medical education, the Northwest is an emerging centre for various UNBC programs aimed at educating health professionals. ◄ Sarah Kotai, Jo-Anne Kerr, Kathryn Jardine, and Laura Paterson were among the founding group of Nursing graduates in Terrace this year. The program has attracted dozens of students from the region. ► Five students from the region are now Northern Medical Program students. They are Chris Chapman (Terrace), Moni Vaid (Kitimat), Lauren Feldhoff (Kitimat), and Karissa and Jason Hetland: the first brother-and-sister pair in the NMP. They grew up in Kitwanga.
Monday 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
◄ Jim Klonarakis of Kitimat was a member of the second-ever group of Northern Medical Program graduates. Jim is completing a residency in Anaesthesia in Saskatchewan.
Course availability is subject to change.
