About the MD Program

Thank you for your interest in the Cumming School of Medicine Undergraduate Medical Education Program.  I’m pleased and honoured to lead our group of incredible group of medical educators as we transform students into the next generation of physicians.  The MD program at the Cumming School of Medicine boasts a complete pre-clerkship revamp in 2023 to align with our Strategic Plan, to ensure that while keeping education at the core of what we do, we train physicians who meet the needs of the people and communities they serve.  Our program offers the opportunity for students to engage with the community, perform scholarly activity, and travel throughout the world in partnership with the Indigenous, Local, and Global Health Office.  We are committed to the Indigenous Health Dialogue with a dedicated Indigenous Health curriculum.  Our graduates are competitive in both their successful completion of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam and the residency match. Students who are interested in physician-scientist training can explore the Leaders in Medicine Program, which is designed to support motivated and passionate students of medicine to achieve excellence in research, scholarship, and patient care.
