For
the first day of classes, the welcome address will begin at
6:30pm, so please arrive at 6:00 pm for
student sign-in and to receive your registration and class materials.
For all other weeks, the first talk starts at

The evenings'
classes will begin with a faculty member from the School of Medicine who will
give a public seminar similar to those given to the medical students, using the
world-renowned McMaster approach of problem-based learning. Each evening will
have two separate sessions. The seminars will explore the scientific basis of
topical medical issues followed by a question and answer session.
