About the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (the “College”) was established by the provincial legislature in 1886 as the licensing and regulatory body for all physicians and surgeons in the province. The College is governed by provincial legislation that entrusts the College with the responsibility to establish, monitor and enforce high standards of qualification and medical practice across the province.

Check out this great opportunity to learn about health librarianship!

The SLAIS Special Libraries Association is hosting a panel discussion which features a few librarians that are working in health-related areas. The panel discussions are always a great way to learn more about the field. You’ll even have the opportunity to ask your questions. It’s happening this coming Wednesday at 11:30am. Find more information about the featured librarians (and how to register) here: http://ubcsla.wordpress.com/

Also: the first CHLA meeting of 2013 happens this Wednesday at 5pm in the Trail Room (Room 491 right next to the SLAIS lounge). We’ll be talking about an exciting event that will be happening soon — so don’t forget to mark your calendars!

In an effort to communicate more effectively will all SLAIS students and to increase our online presence, the CHLA/ABSC student interest group is starting a blog.

We’ll use this blog to post minutes and information about meetings and upcoming events. So add this to your RSS feed and stay tuned!
