Additional Notes
There is no direct entry from high school into Medical School. Students must first
complete at least two years of university study in another Faculty. Some applicants
with outstanding ability are admitted to Medical School after two or three years of fulltime study, but most students complete at least four years of full-time university study
before beginning Medical School.
Prior to being admitted to Medical School, applicants must complete university
courses in biology, English, general chemistry (including inorganic chemistry), organic
chemistry, physics, statistics and biochemistry.
Applicants with a competitive cumulative average, the prerequisite courses, the MCAT
average and personal activities will earn an interview for admission into the University
of Alberta Medical School.
Applicants to the Doctor of Medicine program must apply using the online application.
It is recommended that students have the following Grade 12 subjects in order to
complete the prerequisites: English Language Arts 30-1, Biology 30, Chemistry 30,
Mathematics 30-1 and Physics 30.
Students are encouraged to obtain a baccalaureate degree before admission but may

one appropriate preprofessional route, but there are no limitations.
The Faculty will not accept the MCAT written in the Spring of the academic year of
