toastman Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 A couple of my friends have passed on this rumour to me that UWO will be increasing (nearly doubling) the number of seats available for their med school in 2013. Anyone else hear this? is there any truth to this? I'm really skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantaloons Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I can't see that happening at all--if only for reasons of simple physical space. So unless they build a new medschool building in time for 2013 or greatly increase capacity at Windsor, I can't see the spots increasing that much. And it's not just classroom capacity, but clinical teaching capacity at the hospitals/clinics for 3rd and 4th years too. Anyways, this is speculation on a rumour. Maybe maodiddymao or rmorelan will have additional insights. (and anyways, all this speculation should be meaningless to premeds. In the end, you still gotta work hard no matter what you think the odds are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupeFiasco Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I haven't heard this rumor but if it was at all plausible, I would assume they would be doubling their spaces for the satellite campus in Windsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I haven't heard this rumor but if it was at all plausible, I would assume they would be doubling their spaces for the satellite campus in Windsor. yeah - there is simply 0 room for that at the london campus Even the windsor site cannot double as they are over 50% capacity now.

naspec Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 The only way I could see that happening is if there was another satellite campus in the works that nobody has heard of. Just looking at the number of seats available in both lecture rooms, which are pretty full assuming everybody shows up to class, will give us an idea of the maximum capacity of the medical school for the near future.

Also the studies on doctor shortages suggest that we won't need any more increases so I can't imagine why they would any more. In the long run we will have to drop the number of seats actually.
