maserati Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I noticed that there are 3 physics requirement for MD at the french med schools in Quebec. Physique 101, 201 et 301. : mecanique / electricite & magnetisme / ondes Are these courses equivalent to simply 2 undergraduate physics courses at english schools? Example from McGill (((( PHYS 101 Introductory Physics - Mechanics ))))) Fall 4 credit hours 3 hours lectures; 2 hours laboratory; tutorial sessions Not open to students taking or having taken PHYS 131, CEGEP objective 00UR or equivalent Laboratory sections have limited enrolment The object of this course is to give the students a basic understanding of the principles of physics, illustrating these, where possible, with current examples of their use in biology and medicine. ((((( PHYS 102 Introductory Physics - Electromagnetism ))))) Winter 4 credit hours 3 hours lectures; 2 hours laboratory; tutorial sessions Prerequisite: PHYS 101 Corequisite: MATH 139 Not open to students taking or having taken PHYS 142, CEGEP objective 00UR or equivalent Laboratory sections have limited enrolment Electric field and potential. D.C. circuits and measurements. Capacitance. Magnetic field and induction. A.C. circuits Semiconductor devices and their application. Electromagnetic waves.

p0795195 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 well the third coure "ondes" is actually called "waves and optics" IN ENGLISH CEGEPS so you would be missing that portion. Its about mirrors, lenses and waves such as light, sound and strings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maserati Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 oh ... so I would have to do 3 physics courses for french meds? geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvly Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 oh but of all the physics class, i find it was the most interesting one...and trust me, i'm not a fan of physics! A couple of things we already saw in high school like sound waves, and optical lenses, so it's really not that bad Good luck! ________ Pissing toilet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
