Note: Candidates in the field of veterinary medicine will be assigned to the sectional committee that most closely represents their speciality: e.g. immunology. microbiology, genetics or pathology.

With a view to balancing out the number of candidates going through each of the committees Council members approved changes to the structure of Sectional Committees at the 2010 April Council meeting. For further information contact Clare Brown (clare.brown@acmedsci.ac.uk).
