The curriculum consists of four components:

• Fundamentals of Medicine and Dentistry (FMD)
• Transition to Clinical Practice (TCP)
• Core and Senior Clerkship
• Physicianship

Units in the Physicianship component are being introduced sequentially. For selected students, the program includes a one-year integrated clerkship in Gatineau/Hull or elsewhere outside the city of Montreal. Promotion criteria is the same as in Montreal.

Electronic media, multimedia, and other information technologies are used by the Faculty for teaching purposes and to promote learning. Students, therefore, should expect to be audio- and/or video-recorded as part of the program; for example, with learning being done at the 91ÉçÇø Medical Simulation Centre.

The language of instruction is English. The student is expected to have a working knowledge of the English language (comprehension, spoken, and written) from the outset of the M.D.,C.M. program. The student is also expected to have a working knowledge of the French language (comprehension, spoken, and written) from the outset of the M.D.,C.M. program. Please refer to Language Proficiency for further details.

The Faculty does not accept students for part-time medical studies.

Then, the students will begin their medical studies, which will be integrated with additional elective courses in management. This will provide the opportunity to train well-rounded physician-managers who can eventually pursue careers in a wide range of health care areas, from the smallest clinic to the largest tertiary health care facility; from research laboratory to university or hospital medical departments, as well as the private sector within pharma/biotechnology firms and the health insurance sector, among others.
