Brock and McMaster will continue to work together over the next five years.

Officials from both universities signed a contract extension yesterday, for their health sciences collaboration.

McMaster's Niagara Regional Campus for the Michael G. Degroote School of Medicine, is actually located at Brock. 

It's in the Roy & Lois Cairns Health & Bioscience Research Complex, on Brock's main campus in St Catharines.

Since moving to Brock back in 2012; 208 medical students, 80 family medicine graduates, seven emergency medicine residents and two general surgery residents have graduated.

More than 60 of them decided practice in Niagara afterwards.

While signing the contract renewal yesterday, Brock and McMaster also agreed to expand academic collaboration between the two schools.
