websites - humanities and canadian med school tuitions

[Guest sazzafraz]

Hi Ian,

I've been bouncing around for a while already and I cannot find a site that I know you posted a while back. It was the one comparing a bunch of stats for the different med schools including tuition. I'm also looking for a humanities site that I'm sure I saw here - I'm looking into barriers to medical school for various groups - ethnic, socioeconomic, etc

 

Do you recall these sites at all?

Heya,

 

Good to see you. I think the first website you might be referring to this one. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of date, and later on in the thread others have pointed out some errors in it.

For the current most accurate stats on med school admissions, I would visit the ACMC website and pull a copy of these documents.

 

www.acmc.ca/publications.htm

 

Your biomed library should have copies most likely, and if not could order them in for you so you don't have to fork out $$$.

 

I'm not recalling that humanities website that you're referring to, perhaps someone else knows? Here's a couple surveys that may get you a little bit closer re: gender, race stuff with admissions:

Here are the two surveys published this year in the CMAJ run by the CFMS regarding the effects of Ontario tuition deregulation:
