byron.g Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hey guys, first off. I know that research based masters degrees are better for premed and all that but I'm not into lab research, I find it boring... no offence. Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew of some good course based masters degrees in the sciences preferably medical sciences. I know theres a course based masters in clinical anatomy at UWO which I think I'll be applying to. Anyone know of any other degrees? I'm planning on taking a masters if I don't get into med this year. I know this is the wrong way to think about it but it seriously is only to make my application better/fill another year and a bit while i wait on med. Id be interested in some clinical research but I'm not sure if that kind of degree is offered? I don't know much, I'm trying to look into it now but I thought I'd ask for some direction here. P.s. I live in toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer research-based ones after giving it some thought. Sorry OP. There's one global health MSc though, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dy727 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Depends on your interests. There's a Masters in Clinical Anatomy at UWO (Where you get to be a tutor for some med class anatomy courses). Master's in Biostats at UofT (if you're into math) MPH or MSc in Epi at any school But I really think a research master's whether in basic sciences in a biological lab, clinical sciences (in a lab or with patients), or epidemiological sciences (computers + people) will serve you better DURING medical school when you learn the materials. Plus, building connections with researchers during a graduate degree will go a long way if you're planning on the clinician-scientist route.
