“We must not see any person as an abstraction.
Instead, we must see in every person a universe
with its own secrets,
with its own treasures,
with its own sources of anguish,
and with some measure of triumph.”

Elie Wiesel, from The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code

They say that we do not know anything
That we are backwardness
That our head needs changing
for a better one

They say that some learned men are saying this about us
These academics who reproduce themselves
In our own lives

What is there on the banks of these rivers, Doctor?
Take out your binoculars
And your spectacles
Look if you can.
Five hundred flowers from five hundred different types of potato
Grow on the terraces
Above abysses
That your eyes don't reach
These five hundred flowers
Are my brain
My flesh.

José Maria Arguedas, Peruvian poet,
from "A Call to Certain Academics"

The Faculty of Medicine at McGill University is committed to its mission of social accountability, including the recruitment and enrollment of a diverse student body and the delivery of a program of medical education that reflects the complexity and plurality of the public that our graduates will one day serve as health professionals.

In addition to overseeing and assuring the fairness of the selection process for entry into medical school at McGill, the Office of Admissions, Equity & Diversity is broadly responsible for the recruitment of talented individuals to our program, ensuring that this net is cast broadly across the communities we serve, and with attention to equitable representation of historically underrepresented groups within the medical school and the medical profession.

The Faculty of Medicine welcomes and encourages applications from students from all backgrounds, including students from underrepresented ethnic, cultural and racial groups, sexual minorities, and from all socio-economic backgrounds.
