The program objectives are organized by general competencies and principles deemed essential for Canadian physicians as elucidated by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (CanMEDS 2015), and the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CanMEDS FM). They are based on four fundamental premises to ensure career鈥恖ong excellence in whole鈥恜erson care:

1. Biological, behavioural and social聽 sciences as well as scientific methodology are fundamental pillars of medical knowledge.
2. A physician fulfills two roles in service to the patient: that of a healer and a professional. This is referred to as 鈥減hysicianship鈥�.
3. Identity formation is an important聽 goal of medical education; the program guides students in developing a coherent professional identity, assists them in understanding healer and professional roles and obligations, and supports them in retaining core aspects of their personal identities and values.
4. The program has a strong clinical focus and emphasizes clinical skills acquisition. It is designed to increase the integration of clinical and foundational聽 sciences and to promote active learner participation in the education process.

At completion of the program, 91社区 MDCM graduates are expected to be able to function responsibly, in a supervised clinical setting, at the level of an 鈥渦ndifferentiated鈥� physician. It is understood that the process of professional identity formation, while having been initiated and crystalized during medical school, will continue to evolve during the transition to residency and beyond in medical practice.
