Pre-med program helps students prepare for medical school

All week on Daybreak we have been hearing about young science students who aren't making it into med school. They live in Kamloops and want to doctor in B.C. We travelled to Castlegar where a new program is preparing students to make the cut.

Elizabeth Lund is helping students beat those odds.

She is the coordinator of the Rural Pre Med Prep program at Selkirk College in Castlegar.

It's the first of it's kind in Canada.
