I would say, if you want to go into a Midwifery program cause you would be happy to have a career as a Midwife and it's a program that really interests you, then go for it. But if you're doing it ONLY to help you get into medical school, then it's probably not a good idea.

Hi there, So CAPS at UBC isn't a unique program. It's a program made up of Physiology and Cell Biology courses. You can find similar programs at any large Ontario school (Queens, Western, UofT, Waterloo, uOttawa, etc.).

However, like CAPS at UBC, it is VERY difficult to get into this program. You need a 89% average in 2nd year university to get in. Good luck with your search for a university program.
