PDF icon Quebec Resident, University Level Overview

 

Note the following changes as you prepare your application:  

  1. Removal of the Basic Science Prerequisite expiry date
  2. Update to the full-time study requirement
  3. Removal of the MCAT test 

With the removal of the Basic Science Prerequisite expiry date, the MCAT test and an update to the full-time study requirement, the regular admissions pathway is now even more welcoming to applicants with a diversity of backgrounds and experience.

Overview

An applicant is eligible to apply as a member of this category if he or she (a) has their status of Québec residency fully established (not provisionally) by the application deadline (see 'Key Dates' below), (b) will have obtained, by July 31 of the entering year of medicine, an undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree for admission as per the Degree requirements and (c) adheres to all other general and educational requirements.

Applicants in this category can apply to the MDCM, or MDCM & Ph.D. program.   Because both programs have MDCM as their foundation, applicants need only submit one application to their preferred program.  There is no quota for combined-program applications. For the MDCM program, candidates have the choice to select their campus after their MMI to study in Montreal (in English) or in Outaouais (in French).
