Alyson MacCormack is one of the first cohort of students accepted at UPEI’s new Faculty of Medicine. The UPEI site is a regional campus of Memorial University until a future joint degree is established. MacCormack tells Louise Martin of CBC News: Compass that it’s a dream come true, as well as a homecoming. She grew up near Souris before going to Mount Allison University in New Brunswick and then the University of Ottawa.
