The Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Family Medicine Department is home to an exceptional community of health care professionals, researchers, students, and support staff, whose mission is to contribute to the health of the population and the sustainability of the health care system in Quebec, in Canada, and internationally by:
We understand that research in family medicine and primary care is essential to the achievement of excellence in health care delivery, patient care, and education. Our research division is composed of Ph.D. and clinical researchers who dedicate their efforts to producing and translating knowledge that advances the discipline, practice, and teaching of family medicine and primary care while supporting the scholarly activities of clinicians and residents in the Department. We have developed unique and rigorous research programs for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students that advance academic excellence in family medicine and primary health care through patient-oriented, community-based research with innovative methodologies and participatory approaches.
Ph.D. (Ad Hoc)
The Department of Family Medicine offers the possibility of entering a Ph.D. program on an ad hoc basis.
Master of Science (M.Sc.) Family Medicine (Thesis) (45 credits) |
---|
The M.Sc. in Family Medicine is a research-oriented thesis-based graduate program in family medicine. The objective is to increase the skills of those interested in carrying out research pertinent to the practice of family medicine. As many relevant research questions cross conventional boundaries of disciplines and research traditions, we incorporate an interdisciplinary approach with an emphasis on participatory research and community engagement. This program provides training in epidemiology and statistics as well as in qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. Students are also oriented for knowledge synthesis and participatory research approaches. An emphasis is placed on the relevance of the thesis research to family practice and primary health care. Close links are maintained with the main family medicine clinical sites located around Montreal and Quebec. |
Master of Science (M.Sc.) Family Medicine (Thesis): Bioethics (45 credits) |
The objectives of this program are to allow students to conduct innovative research in relation to a bioethical issue pertinent to health care and to acquire a working knowledge of bioethical issues from the current viewpoint of other relevant disciplines such as law, philosophy, and religious studies. A minimum of 45 credits is required including the thesis. The research culminates in the preparation of a thesis. |
Master of Science (M.Sc.) Family Medicine (Thesis): Medical Education (45 credits) |
This program will have very close ties to the Family Medicine Educational Research Group (FMER), which is the corollary of the educational innovations in teaching and research conceived and established in the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Department of Family Medicine since 2005. The FMER group's ultimate goal is to advance knowledge to:
This research agenda of FMER is articulated into four interrelated streams: |
Our program encourages the following applicants:
What do we look for?
High academic achievement: A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.4 is required out of a possible maximum CGPA of 4.0, or a GPA of 3.6 is required in the last two years of full-time studies.
Proof of competency in oral and written English: TOEFL: International students who have not received their instruction in English or whose mother tongue is not English must pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language () with a minimum score of 86 on the Internet-based test (iBT; 567 on the paper-based test (PBT)), with each component score not less than 20.
Alternatively, students may submit International English Language Testing System () scores with a minimum overall band score of 6.5. Original score reports must be submitted (photocopies will not be accepted).
For overseas graduates, an attempt is made to situate the applicant's academic grades among the standards of their universities. Grades are, however, converted to their Æ»¹ûÒùÔº equivalent. Conversion charts, as well as required admission documentation for each country, are provided by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and prospective students should refer to these in order to determine if they are admissible to our program.
Æ»¹ûÒùԺ’s online application form for graduate program candidates is available at www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply.
See University Regulations & Resources > Graduate > Graduate Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and Application Procedures > Application Procedures for detailed application procedures.
All supplemental application materials and supporting documents must be uploaded directly to the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº admissions processing system.
Application opening dates are set by Enrolment Services in consultation with Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS), while application deadlines are set by the Department of Family Medicine and may be revised at any time. Applicants must verify all deadlines and documentation requirements well in advance on the appropriate Æ»¹ûÒùÔº departmental website; please consult the list at www.mcgill.ca/gps/contact/graduate-program.
