🎓 Applying to grad school in the life sciences? Make your application stand out.

Your CV and personal statement are your chance to show an admissions committee more than your grades — but knowing what to include (and what to leave out) isn’t always easy.

Join Saddiya Rose, Career Educator at U of T, for a FREE 60-minute webinar designed for undergrads and recent grads preparing to apply to life science graduate programs at U of T’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine.

You’ll learn how to:

✨ Build a stronger, more compelling CV
✍️ Write a personal statement that showcases your experience, passion and potential
đź‘€ Understand what graduate admissions committees are looking for
đź’ˇ Get practical application tips you can use right away
đź’¬ Ask your questions during a live Q&A

đź“… Wednesday, September 16
⏰ 12–1 PM ET
đź’» Online via Zoom

🎓✨ What does the next generation of researchers look like? At , it looks like curiosity, resilience and a commitment to improving lives through discovery.

As convocation approaches, we’re celebrating graduating MSc and PhD students whose research is already shaping the future of health care and science—from stem cell therapies for congenital conditions, to women and children’s health, to improving stroke outcomes through patient-centred research.

Their stories are a reminder that graduate school is more than experiments and publications. It’s about finding mentors, building community, asking bold questions and discovering the impact you want to make in the world.

Congratulations to Fabian Doktor, Jennifer C. Onuora and Sajeevan Sujanthan and each one of our graduates on this incredible milestone. We can’t wait to see what comes next. 👏🔬
