Biomedicine and health related Science Majors

I'm leaning towards physiology but really could do anything - learning some techniques in a lab over the summer and really enjoying that so I might try and do a major with lots of lab research stuff.

UROP?

Take the Microbes subject this year, it's lab based but still qualifies you for a bunch of other majors

If you did Biochem major/minor/lab subjects, it can lead you to Pathology/Neurophysio/Molecular Biology/Immunology research. Depends what kind of lab work you are after...

Thanks for the advice guys - yeh, I'll try to apply for UROP.  Do you know anyone who's done it and what they thought?

[Russ]

Opinions were mixed, some people thought it was great but others didn't like their project or their supervisor etc. I applied but on the final day (I forgot) so I wasn't expecting a callback for an interview.

ahhh...yeh, i'd expect it depends a LOT on supervisor.  what were the projects of people who liked it?
