About MedCast

Research,
with the people in it.

A student-led club at McMaster University.

We're McMaster students who want to learn from people in health and science, and make their paths easier to find.

We'll ask researchers and others in these fields what first drew them in, the choices and challenges along the way, and the advice they'd give someone just starting to explore.
