which canadian med schools require english?

[Guest Shakespearean Fool]

can someone tell me which canadian med schools require

english as a prereq? i would like to do it, but not if its uncessary, as i've taken enough courses as is. thanks.

UBC requires a full year of english

Manitoba requires a full year of English or French literature

 

That's all I know - I'm sure there are others. You are of course best off verifying this stuff on your own if you get serious about applying to any particular program.

 

Cheers,

Ummm.... I thought all of them do.

 

Calgary and Alberta do for sure in addition to UBC and Manitoba as stated by thatuvicguy

Ottawa, Queen's, Toronto and Mac don't require an english course.

MUN does, Dal does not

I don't think Calgary requires english.

"We RECOMMEND, but do not require, that applicants have taken a full year of each of: biology, chemistry, physics, English, organic chemistry, biochemistry and physiology as well as a semester of psychology, sociology or anthropology and a semester of calculus or statistics." (Answer to #7 in admissions.myweb.med.ucal...ions.html)

whats the point of taking english if i've taken philosophy? it seems rather redundant. if they just want me to develop some sort of ability in writing, then it seems i can develop that equally well by taking philosophy.

I agree, however, try explaining that to the med schools.
