King Olav V's Cancer Research Award to ?slaug Helland
Professor ?slaug Helland is honoured for his unique efforts over many years for cancer patients with the Norwegian Cancer Society's Research Award for 2023. Dean Harbo congratulates Professor ?slaug Helland at the Cancer Clinic with a well-deserved award. Helland's ability to develop this important work locally, nationally and internationally has been crucial for the prognoses of certain types of lung cancer, for example, to be dramatically improved. We were given a touching example of this during the Royal Award Ceremony in the University Aula, when a young lung cancer patient told his story. The Faculty of Medicine wishes continuing success in this important work.

Studies
As announced in MED-nytt no. 6, Dean of Studies Magnus L?berg plans to create a programme to improve teaching at the faculty. Unfortunately, the scheduled discussion meeting for students and staff on May 4 had to be postponed as several simultaneous events were taking place that prevented both interested parties and speakers from participating. We will soon return with a new time and programme.
High number of applicants to our new master's programme
The new master's programme in public health science and epidemiology at the Faculty of Medicine will start in autumn 2023, and has received a good response, with a total of 5.3 first-choice applicants per study place.
