For Montreal, the Medicine Qualifying Year and the MDCM program are offered at听缅北强奸鈥檚 downtown听Montreal Campus, in a larger, metropolitan setting.

Selecting a Campus and Receiving an Offer
Candidates do not apply to a specific campus, but to the MDCM or Med-P Qualifying Year.听 Interviewed candidates who are residents of Quebec and have met the French language proficiency C1 level or one of the conditions for exemption will submit their campus preference after the interview. These candidates will complete their Campus selection preference on their applicant checklist in the Applicant Portal to select where they prefer to study (Montreal Campus or Campus Outaouais)
The Undergraduate Medical Admissions Office will send successful applicants a letter with an offer of admission. In the letter, candidates will learn where they will complete their Med-P and MDCM studies. Successful applicants will receive an offer of admission which is valid only for the campus specified in the offer letter. The choice of campus cannot be modified during the Med-P year or the MDCM program.
Candidates who have French language proficiency at the C1 level or have met a condition for exemption will select only one of the four choices below
If I听receive an offer of admission for the Medicine Qualifying Year听or the听MDCM program, I would accept an offer to complete听the program:
- At the Campus Outaouais only
- At the Montreal Campus only
- At either campus, with preference for Montreal
- At either campus, with preference for Outaouais
The form in the Applicant Portal is the听only opportunity to express a听choice of campus. The form听is binding and cannot be changed at a later date during the admission process, during the Med-P year, or during the MDCM program. Admitted MDCM students are not permitted to transfer their registration between the two campuses. However, various elective opportunities on both campuses are available to all MDCM students.
Offers of admission are made based on the final rank order list, taking into consideration: a) the candidate's听choice of campus and b) the available seats at the time of offer, and c) the social accountability goals of the campus. Note that if the initial round of offers do not already assign Campus Outaouais seats to at least one third of candidates who prefer Outaouais, additional seats can be assigned to ensure this minimum is met. Candidates in this range would have received a waitlist offer in a subsequent round, and this process allows better initial offer matching for both Montreal and Outaouais candidates.
If you are placed on the waiting list and a seat becomes available in Outaouais, you will receive the offer if you selected the 鈥�Outaouais鈥� or 鈥淓ither鈥� campus options on the Campus Preference checklist item in the Applicant Portal. For candidates who choose ''Either'' campus and receive an offer for their non-preferred campus, they can decline the offer, and will remain on the waitlist for their campus of preference (Montreal/Outaouais). Candidates who accept the offer for their non-preferred campus can also remain on the waitlist for their preferred campus. They will be assigned to their campus of preference only if a position is available.
