UoGuelph launches medical foundations program with dissection

A new Master of Medical Foundations program at the University of Guelph will better prepare students for medical school with cadaver dissections, in-depth anatomy studies, and small-group lab learning. Launching in June, the three-semester program is intended for students who wish to pursue medical school or other health care professions. UoGuelph Associate Professor Dr Danielle Bentley told CTV News that only one quarter of medical programs in Canada have students leading cadaveric dissections, which means that many medical students are missing the strong foundational knowledge and skills that they need in a clinical setting. “I think the big consequences are it’s going to impact patient care,” said Bentley.
