It allowed me to explore the UC campus, their state-of-the-art facilities, as well as connect with people and learn more about biomedical topics and issues.

We learned lots of basic lab techniques and a lot about infectious disease and had numerous professional lectures from people in the field of veterinary med, human med, disease prevention, etc.
