Core biomedical courses provide you with a solid foundation for success in medically-related professional degree programs that could lead to a variety of careers.

Plus, you'll be prepared for the MCAT.


First-year courses cover the foundational sciences in biology and chemistry, as well as math, and psychology. In second year, courses are a mixture of basic science and medical science courses, including cell biology, organic chemistry, microbiology and physiology. You’ll also learn about the sociology of health, illness, and healing – the theory and practice of medicine, how our society addresses health problems, healthcare from the perspective of the ill, and healthcare in Canada.
