French Language Courses

The French language proficiency exam is a requirement for full licensure in Quebec. French is also the major spoken language in Quebec and your working knowledge of this language affects clinical placements. If French is not your mother tongue, then we encourage you to enroll in French language courses. McGill offers a tailored course for professionals.
