You should check my first video titled my Journey to Medical School! It answers all your questions!

​@@medwithmaniI have commented in the video titled "my journey to med school " will you please check it...

McGill offers great residency programs! Many students stay at McGill and others come from other Canadian universities or from other countries just to complete their residency at McGill!

I'm not sure what the requirements or tuition fees are, depending on where you did your bachelor's, but you can find all that information on McGill's website!

If you do grade 12, you'll have to go through a bachelor's degree and then apply to med. If you go straight to CEGEP, you can apply to pre-med once you finish. Both are good options, and you would need to complete a health science degree to meet the prerequisites requirements for medical school!

Also how do you just find research groups in your college?

I'm not sure how to start a club, you probably should go through the student council for more information! But joining or starting a club is always a good idea!

You add it to your CV and often times they'll ask for referees that they may contact for proof!

It was Saint George's University at the University of Nicosia, in Cyprus. The pre-reqs probably changed by now, so you should check on their website, but for me it was a minimum of a 3.2 GPA and MCAT score of 500 I believe.

You have to complete a CEGEP degree in sciences to complete all the science prerequisites for med school!

Requirements for pre-med or just medical school? It depends what level of education you are at!

Hard to say, but minimum would be 34-35 and if you're at 36-37 you're quite competitive!

Many nurses get into medical school with nursing degrees, but you have to ensure you have completed the science pre-requisite courses found on McGill's website! I am not sure if those were part of your practical nursing diploma and if they are recognized by McGill!

The bachelor's itself does not matter, as long as you complete the science pre-requisite courses required by McGill (physics, chemistry, biology, math). This can be done as part of your degree or as separate courses, so you should do a degree that you think you will perform well in and you'll enjoy!

That's great! You'll apply next year if you finish in the Fall. Should you get in, you'll have the Winter 2025 semester off! Applications open on September 1st usually and go until November 1st! Unfortunately, CEGEP graduates have to go through Med-P, which is 1 preparatory year and then you start the MDCM program! Only students with a bachelor's degree could directly apply to the MDCM program. Hope this helps!

I included all that info in the video! Practice tests are online at various websites for various fees! Sample questions can be found on BeMo's website!

Hey! So yes, McGill offers an MDCM program, which is equivalent to a MD. High school graduates CANNOT get accepted. In Quebec, they must at least go through CEGEP first. As an international applicant, you must apply to an undergraduate program (i.e., a Bachelor of Science program), complete that and the program pre-requisite courses, and then you can be considered for one of the 2 international spots. I hope this helps clear some things.

@@medwithmani Yepp, thanks! So just to confirm, in Canada as well as the USA ALL the universities offer medical programs only once you already have an undergraduate degree, got it

Hello! Canada does not have MBBS, rather it's MD or MDCM at McGill. If you do a bachelor's degree in Biology, only those grades will be relevant to your medicine application! Best of luck!

@medwithmani THANKS ALOT, it means if i want to study MD or MDCM there ,i have no need of these marks.

@@EmanIjaz-k5u you need them to get into a bachelor's program, but then you got it, they won't look at those marks!

@@medwithmani how much maximum marks are required for such bachelors degree , if u give me some idea about that?

@@EmanIjaz-k5u it depends on the cohort! If the students writing the CASPer are overall stronger, you'll need a higher overall score. There is no specific value I can give you, you just have to do your best in each section to try and get 4th Quartile (or at least 3rd) to be considered competitive!

Do you mean 34 R score? Yes it's always possible if you do very well in the rest of your semesters!

I think nursing is a great bachelor's degree for pre-meds! Do something you think you'll like and do well in, to maximize your chances of getting into med!

@@medwithmani Is there any prerequisites that I need doing as Bs in nursing ?? So i can apply in medical school as I know it’s really hard to get in Medical schools and I am really stressed out. Can you guide me with the best ?

@@GursimranKaur-nk7rp I can't say I'm too familiar with the nursing prerequisites, if there are any, but you can refer to their website to get all the information you need: www.mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/program/nursing

Yes, I'm sure you can get into a good bachelor's program with those grades. Then you could apply to medicine after!

@medwithmani thanks a lot your reply means a lot to me . May God bless you sir

Hi! Unfortunately, I don't know these exact numbers, but aim for the highest and reach out to the admissions department for more information!

Yes, she's awesome!

Thank you!

Yes! It's been busy, but the plan is to make more in the near future!!

Hi! I made 2 videos on the CASPer test! My latest video is the most recent update, you should check it out. I never received my score (they didn't release them back then, but I'm assuming it's high to compensate for my GPA which was slightly under average). Yes, I do recommend it, especially if you want to do research, which is valued in medicine. Many of my peers are current medical students at McGill!

@@medwithmani and did the minor affect your GPA in a bad way? Did you find the courses hard? Your guidance is much appreciated.

I'm not sure how much I can cover on funding in a video, but essentially, if you've completed a degree prior to medicine, the government will assist you through this program via bursaries and loans! Highly recommend, but I do not think it's applicable for CEGEP graduates! I could be wrong.

Thx Mani! you are a gem!@@medwithmani

She's 100% right with that statement, do something you love and do it well! Medical schools appreciate commitment, dedication, and growth!

are ophtalmology and gyn and dermatology all in the final year? thank you

Yes! Stay tuned for my med-2 recap video! After that, 3rd and 4th year are entirely in the hospitals!

thanks man@@medwithmani

Nursing is always a great choice! It's arguably some of the best prep before medicine!

Yeah UdeM is known to give additional R score bonus points to its students and graduate students!

@@medwithmani merry early xmas ;)

Good question. Out of province high school students have to go straight into university in Quebec, they do not go through CEGEP, and therefore can only apply to medical school after a bachelor's degree.

At McGill, the interview is in the language of your choice. The French universities only have interviews in French!

Admissions don't start after a class per say, but in Quebec, students can apply after CEGEP or after completing a bachelor's/undergraduate degree. Most universities around the world require a university degree before applying to medical school. After that, the time at which someone applies depends on the school. McGill application season historically has been from September 1st to November 1st. I hope this helps!

Never to soon to start extracurriculars! If anything, showing your dedication and commitment from a younger age looks even better on an application!

I'm in the same position asking myself the same question 😂

I appreciate the support! Secondary 4 grades do not impact your medical school admission. However, sec 4 grades are crucial to getting into a good Science program in CEGEP which would then allow you to apply to medicine! So make sure you keep those Science and Math grades up!

Thank you!

You're welcome! After med school is residency, where you spend 2 to 6 years or so specializing in a particular part of medicine. For example, individuals who want to become family doctors will do an additional 2 years after med school to specialize in family medicine.

Hi! You're on the older side, but I think the range goes up to 40 in my class (but there's no limit). If you did your science pre-requisites, no need to do a degree in Biology for example assuming you had a strong GPA. Hope this helps!

Hey! Best of luck! The average interviewed R score last year was just above 36, it will likely be the same this year. A R score of 34+ is likely considered competitive, and depending on your CASPer score and CV, you should have a good shot at an interview. Hope this helps!

Whether you're in med school or not, study tips can be translated across any degree! I already made a video with a couple of tips, feel free to check it out: ruclips.net/video/ubk27nuPvuY/видео.html

Med-P is only mandatory if you have a DEC from CEGEP and nothing more. People who have completed a bachelor's degree in university go directly into the MDCM or MDCM-PhD program, which is the same case anywhere in the world really. Since Quebec is the only province with a Med-P program, it kind of acts like a stepping stone between the huge gap that is CEGEP vs. Med school. The age range you are referring to is from the MDCM cohorts, including Med-P. The Med-Ps on their own are all about 19-20 years old since they all recently finished CEGEP. Hope this clarifies things.

I'm not sure I understand your question. To study in Quebec, having a base of French is important because of the large French population. Elsewhere in Canada, it's not necessary!

Thank you for your kind words!

Hi! I only applied to the University of St George at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus! The Caribbean schools were not super appealing, but nonetheless a great option if you plan on practicing in the US!

Yes well the Med-P program is a year of pre-med before completing 4 years of medical school to recently graduated CEGEP students. Admission to the med-p program is a guaranteed acceptance to med school assuming you meet their minimum criteria throughout the year which is super reasonable! This program is only offered at McGill and UdeM. The other french universities send you straight to 1st year of med school even directly after CEGEP!

No! UdeM also offers Med-P to CEGEP students whereas Sherbrooke and ULaval put CEGEP students straight into Med-1.

@@medwithmani Is Med-P a waste of time? Seems pointless to waste a year if other med school take you straight from CEGEP no?

Quite the contrary! Imagine coming straight out of CEGEP and competing with classmates who have an entire undergraduate degree or even master's and PhD in your class! The Med-P program is kind of like a transition year so you can adapt to the university, and specifically, med school workload to minimize the "culture" shock when you officially start!

@@medwithmani I guess we will have to agree to disagree 🙂A med student friend of mine said med-p is pointless. You only need a 3.5 to pass & it is way easier than an average bachelor class, so you are not getting the full uni experience. The only benefit he claims is you will be slightly move versed in genetics, which you will learn in med school anyway. Half the med schools in qc don't see the benefit of it, so idk. It would be nice to hear from students that completed the program. Maybe an idea for a new video?😉

Fair! I'm not saying it's equivalent to a bachelor's degree, far from it, but it is essentially equivalent to the 1st year of a bio bachelor. Given that you will be better versed in anatomy/physiology, genetics, and stats, this is a better intro to medicine, than going straight from CEGEP. But yes, from what my classmates have told me, it is an "easy" year when you compare it to med school itself! Definitely a good topic for a future video though.
