majid01 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hello everyone! I am really considering applying to U of O next september as an undergraduate in the hope of getting accepted to the french stream MD program later on. Although this is still a far fetch from now, why does some people say they got accepted for MD program of 2015? Does the MD program takes admission 3 years in advance? Dont you have to finish atleast 3 years of undergrad? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Those are for people who were admitted to an MD program in Fall 2011, and will graduate in Spring 2015. Most Canadian medical schools offer 4 year MD programs. There are some exceptions, including McMaster and Calgary, both of which offer 3 year MD programs (not sure if I'm missing any).

Ahhh I see, so in 2015 they will officially be doctors? Any other MD programs that dont need mcat and offer french instruction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am class of 2013 because that is the year I will graduate in. Other schools follow the same pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzimmerman Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Many of the schools in Quebec - such as Laval I believe, offer French instruction and do not require the MCAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedPen Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ahhh I see, so in 2015 they will officially be doctors? Any other MD programs that dont need mcat and offer french instruction? Laval, Montreal, and Sherbrooke offer med in french and there is no MCAT requirement. However, to get in, you must be a resident of Quebec.

future_doc Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 McGill has no MCAT requirement but language of instruction is English. BTW, if testing the waters for Cegep, you had better apply now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
