Program Registration
Program Registration
New Students
All students entering the four-year M.D.,C.M. program must initiate registration on the web via Minerva. The Minerva registration period for newly admitted Medicine students is June 13 to August 14, 2016; further information is available here.
In order for the official registration in the M.D.,C.M. program at 苹果淫院 to be confirmed, the student must also present him or herself, with proper documentation, at the Faculty Registration and Orientation held from August 23 to August 26, 2016. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. For more details, consult www.mcgill.ca/ugme/curriculum.
Failure to attend orientation will result in cancellation of the student's offer of admission to the program and registration.
For further information, consult Minerva and the registration information mailed to incoming students in June, as well as www.mcgill.ca/importantdates.
Returning Students
All returning students must register on the web by adding the courses per term and year on Minerva. Returning students must register by the deadline specified or pay the appropriate late registration fees.
For further information, consult Minerva and the registration information emailed to returning students in early April, as well as www.mcgill.ca/importantdates.
Leaves of Absence
Leaves of Absence
Note: This section is subject to change. Students should refer to www.mcgill.ca/ugme/academic-policies/absences-and-leaves.
Leaves of absence during medical studies are generally discouraged, and the few exceptions are granted only for reasons of health or family crises. Requests for leave must be discussed with the Associate Dean. Permission is granted by the Dean. A request must be accompanied by supporting documentation (e.g., a letter from the student's physician/counsellor). In general, a medical leave is granted for up to one year. The Faculty reserves the right to impose a limitation on the number as well as the total duration of leaves.
A student returning from a medical leave must provide supporting documentation from the treating physician/counsellor. These documents must state that the student is capable of resuming his/her studies. Should a prolongation be requested, the Faculty of Medicine reserves the right to require a second opinion from a Faculty-designated physician.
Once the leave has been approved by the Dean, the student's registration and fees must be clarified with the Student Records Officer. Students may be required to forfeit all or part of their tuition fees. All students must have an interview with the Student Aid Office to reassess impact on financial aid.
Leaves of absence will be noted on official transcripts and Medical Student Performance Records/Dean's letter.

Requirements for License
Requirements for License
Candidates accepted for admission are reminded that it is their personal responsibility to ensure that they fulfil all the licensing requirements of the country in which they intend to practise medicine. A university degree does not confer the right to practise. In each province of Canada, in each state of the United States, and in all other countries, the authority to license is vested in a licensing body which has its own special laws and requirements. In many cases, a special standard of general education is insisted upon before beginning the study of medicine. One of the requirements in several provinces is that the entrance qualifications of the student must be registered with the provincial licensing body for five years or more before a licence to practise can be obtained.
Candidates accepted for admission should therefore communicate as soon as possible with the licensing body of the country, province or state in which they intend to practise, and obtain from that licensing body the necessary instructions.
Candidates wishing to practise medicine in the province of Quebec must also meet the French language requirement for professionals, as described in the University Regulations and Resources: Language Requirements for Professions.
