Our son was prepared and excited to attend the University of British Columbia in the Fall of 2019 until that fateful evening we made a last minute decision to attend the Selkirk College Rural Pre-Medicine Program’s open house.
Though we’d heard about the program, we didn’t have in depth knowledge of it and we were not aware of all the benefits offered through it. We left the open house feeling so enthusiastic and incredibly impressed about what we heard, and we strongly supported our son’s decision to choose this program.
We were very nervous when we declined his UBC acceptance and worried about making the right decision, but I can say without hesitation this was absolutely the right choice for our son. The RPM Program is everything and more than we expected and we cannot believe how fortunate we are to have this specialized small cadre program in our own community.
