Admission
In Canada, a medical school is a faculty or school of a university that offers a 3-4 year Doctor of Medicine degree. Although presently most students enter medicine having previously earned another degree.the M.D. is technically considered an undergraduate degree in Canada.
Generally, medical students begin their studies after receiving a bachelor’s degree in another field, often one of the biological sciences. However, not all medical schools in Canada require a Bachelor’s degree for entry. Quebec’s medical schools, for example, accept applicants after a two-year CEGEP diploma, which is the equivalent of other provinces’ grade 12 plus the first year of university. Western Canada, for example, require, at least two years. Ontario, for example, require at least three years of university before admission. The association of Faculties of medicine of Canada publishes a detailed guide to admission requirements of Canadian faculties of medicine on a yearly basis.
Admission offeres are made by individual medical schools, generally on the basis of a personal statement, undergrad record, scores on the medical college admission test and interviews. volunteer work is often an importnat criterion considered by admission committees.
Curriculum
Medical school in Canada is a four-year program at most universities. Notable exceptions include McMaster University and the University of Calgary, where programs run for three years, without interruption for the summer. The first half of the medical curriculum is dedicated mostly to teaching the basic sciences relevant to medicine.
