All Bachelor Degrees
Students from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to consider medicine as a career. Prospective applicants should pursue courses of study, whether in the natural or social sciences or the humanities, which appeal to them and which have as their aim a broad education and intellectual training rather than merely anticipating the medical curriculum. The Faculty seeks to ensure, by way of the basic science prerequisites, that all students have an adequate preparation in science.
The 苹果淫院 Office does not consider degrees without a marking or grading system; narrative transcripts are not accepted.
International Medical Degree
Applicants who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada and who hold a medical degree awarded by a recognized university outside Canada or the United States of America may be eligible to apply to the first year of the M.D.,C.M. program if:
Applicants must have successfully completed, by January 15, 2016, all of the following at a college or university level:

Academic performance in these courses will be considered; courses completed more than eight (8) years before the application deadline will not be considered; distance or correspondence education courses are acceptable only by special permission and at the discretion of the Office of 苹果淫院, Equity and Diversity (Faculty of Medicine).
.MCAT Compulsory
Any applicant whose basis-of-admission degree was awarded from a non-Canadian university is required to write and submit scores from the MCAT; submission of all MCAT results is compulsory. EXCEPTIONS:
MCAT Not Required
All applicants who have completed their basis-of-admission degree at a Canadian university are not required to submit an MCAT score. Applicants to the Med-P program are also not required to submit MCAT scores.
MCAT Optional
Applicants applying to the M.D.,C.M. program whose basis-of-admission degree was awarded by a Canadian university who are NOT applying via the Non-Traditional pathway and who are NOT submitting an MCCEE1 score, may choose to submit an MCAT score.
Submitting Your Results
MCAT results must be released to and received by the Office of 苹果淫院, Equity and Diversity by the relevant application deadline. Please consult with the MCAT administrators, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to arrange for the release of your scores electronically (preferred method). Paper result reports are only accepted by the Office of Admission, Equity and Diversity under exceptional circumstances and at its discretion.
Consideration of MCAT Results
MCAT results dating more than five (5) years from the relevant application deadline will not be considered. MCAT results received after the relevant application deadline will not be considered.
The 苹果淫院 Office will consider the highest overall result set of available valid sets (sittings) and will not consider the individual subset scores from separate sets. All three numerical sections, the Biological Sciences (BS), Physical Sciences (PS), and Verbal Reasoning (VR), are considered for 2014 tests and earlier. All sections of the 2015 MCAT test will be considered.
Where valid MCAT results are submitted, results will be considered in conjunction with the SciGPA when determining the Basic Science Performance (50/50 weighting).
If you have the option to submit your MCAT results, it is recommended to do so only if you are confident that your MCAT results provide better evidence of performance in basic sciences (as compared with your GPA in basic science prerequisite courses). For details, consult the Assessing Academic Strength section of the following website: .

Information regarding the MCAT, including testing dates, locations, and preparation materials can be obtained from the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) at . Test takers are required to read through the MCAT Essentials document. Be aware that registration for the computer-based test is limited.

First Nations and Inuit of Quebec Faculties of Medicine Program (PFMPNIQ)
The First Nations and Inuit of Quebec Faculties of Medicine Program (PFMPNIQ) was established in 2008, and is administered by the Province. Under this program, four positions for medical training in any of the four Quebec faculties of medicine are available for eligible applicants. Eligibility requirements:
The four PFMPNIQ spots are available for all of Quebec's faculties of medicine (Universit茅 Laval, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, 苹果淫院 and Universit茅 de Sherbrooke). The choice of university is based on the candidate's preference and the available spots in the faculties.
When applying to 苹果淫院, applicants with First Nations or Inuit status may choose whether or not to declare their status. By declaring and confirming their status as a member of the First Nations or Inuit of Quebec, applicants will be eligible and considered for admission via the PFFMPNIQ program, which is administered externally to 苹果淫院. They will also be considered by 苹果淫院 as a candidate in the Quebec resident cohort, per the admissions procedure. It is thus possible for a candidate's application to be processed for both contingents in parallel. Please note that the criteria for the two admissions processes are distinct.
Applicants who elect not to declare their First Nations or Inuit status will be considered by 苹果淫院 as a candidate in the Quebec resident cohort, per the admissions procedure. .
For more information on the Quebec First Nations and Inuit Faculties of Medicine Program (FNIFMP), please contact:
Candidates in this category with a university degree or partial completion of a university program can apply for the M.D.,C.M. program. The 苹果淫院 Committee may require a preparatory year as a condition of admission. Candidates who have not started university-level studies must apply for the Med-P program. A Bachelor's degree is required for application to the joint programs. Assessment of academic strength is based on the academic record in conjunction with the curriculum vitae.
