Poonamdeep “Poonam” Bajwa is making history in the VCU Medical Laboratory Sciences - College of Health Professions! 🎓

Bajwa is the first graduate of the new master’s concentration in Public Health Laboratory Sciences — a program that expanded her passion for applying lab science to entire populations, not just individuals.

“It’s not just about running tests and sending results back to the hospital; it’s about looking at trends and making sure the public stays healthy,” she said.
