ß÷ßäÉçÇø

The Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry is committed to the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Indigenous students.

All Indigenous applicants who meet the application requirements and who are successful in the Indigenous admissions process will be recommended by the Indigenous ß÷ßäÉçÇø Subcommittee to the MD ß÷ßäÉçÇø Committee for admission. Indigenous applicants are considered in the ß÷ßäÉçÇøn pool and therefore only need to meet the ß÷ßäÉçÇøn minimum requirements.

For the purpose of application and admission to the ß÷ßäÉçÇø, and in accordance with the Constitution Act, 1982, Part II, Section 35(2), an Indigenous applicant is an Indian, Inuit, or Métis person of Canada.
