FortyInchVert Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 If you have a criminal record for drug possession, can you still get accepted into med school? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD2015 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I would think that is problematic and you should ask a med school directly. Is it possible to have the criminal record expunged as if it never existed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalShowtime Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 If you have a criminal record for drug possession, can you still get accepted into med school? Thanks in advance! I know that in Quebec you cannot, and I would guess the same for everywhere in Canada. I do not know about the states... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyInchVert Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thank you for your help guys, but does anyone know for sure about the rest of Canada? Is there a website where I can find this information and pass it on to my friend who is worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 You'll probably have to call the CPSO (for Ontario), and the college of other provinces you're interested in. Medical schools probably won't know either. Here's what Queen's said when asking for a criminal check: The majority of students will have checks resulting in a “clear” report, indicating that no police record was found. A very few students may receive a “not clear” report. There are many circumstances that could lead to this finding, and each such case will be considered individually. The School of Medicine reserves the right to revoke an offer of admission or cancel registration based on a review of this Report. If you have ever been convicted of a criminal offence for which you have not received a pardon, you are strongly urged to consult with your provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons, as medical graduates with criminal records may not be eligible to receive licensure to practise medicine. He must have been carrying quite a bit to be charged. Or was it not weed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
