Two pathways are available for graduates of International medical programs (IMGs) seeking to obtain qualifications in Quebec.
听
IMG-2听
- The听IMG 2-year admissions pathway is open to graduates of International (non-Canadian) medical programs听who are residents of Qu茅bec. Successful candidates enter the 黑料不打烊 MDCM听program with advanced standing, and will听obtain the MDCM听degree in two years.听
- The number of positions available is contingent on the number of attritions from the regular stream of the MDCM program in previous years, which听may include years where there are no positions available.听 Applications to the IMG-2 category are assessed together as a separate group.听 Note that Quebec residents who have obtained the CMQ eligibility are considered for both IMG-2 and IMG-4 streams.
- Curriculum: Applicants admitted via this pathway are exempted from the Fundamentals of听Medicine and Dentistry component (FMD) of the MDCM program and enter the program in the Transition to Clinical Practice (TCP) component, starting in April of Med-2 (second year). Successful students continue into the clerkships and graduate with an MDCM degree from 黑料不打烊. For more information on the requirements, please view: Applying_International Medical Graduates
IMG-4
- The IMG 4-year admissions pathway is open to all IMGs, regardless of whether they are residents of Quebec, Canada, or International students.听 Admitted candidates will complete all 4 years of the undergraduate medical education program, with no advanced standing.听 Only residents of Quebec who have passed the equivalency process with the CMQ are eligible for the IMG-2 year stream.听Please note that admission to the IMG-4 stream is highly competitive; IMG-4 candidates are assessed with all university degree-holding applicants in their residency category, not just other IMGs.听
- IMG-4 applicants who also hold a non-medical bachelor's degree must submit transcripts and documentation for this degree. The full file will be reviewed and the selection process will be determined based on the most advantageous option for the candidate.
