Among many other benefits, educational tours allow students to see and experience what they learn in class in real life, by linking classroom theories to practical applications. It was, therefore, our utmost pleasure to welcome students from Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC) when they visited UGMC on 25th February 2026 to know more about the medical physics unit of our imaging department.
