MDGE Courses

The MDGE courses are available for students in any program to take, provided they receive the appropriate approvals to do so.

Planning ahead? Take a look at the MDGE series Course Planner. This outlines when courses will be offered in a given year. 

Registration for all MDGE 1 unit courses must be done as follows: 

  • Students must complete the MDGE request form and submit it to the course coordinator, Dr. Pinaki Bose at pbose@ucalgary.ca for 600 level courses (except for MDGE 632, 633 and 634 that are coordinated by Dr. Grant Gordon) and Dr. Timothy Shutt at timothy.shutt@ucalgary.ca for 700 level courses. 
  • The course coordinator will check your eligibility and ensure that there are no conflicts. These are typically done in batches in August (for Fall), December (for Winter), and April (for Spring).
  • If approved, students will be notified of the registration block removal via email and are responsible for registering themselves in the course within 24 hours of that notice.  
  • You will know that you have successfully registered if the course appears in your Student Centre within 24 hours 
  • PLEASE NOTE: Failure to register in your course may result in being assessed late registration fees.
