Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information. However, in the event of a discrepancy between this information and the printed admission rules and policies of the Faculty of Medicine, the printed rules and policies will apply. The selection of candidates for admission is governed by guidelines established by the Senate of UBC, and is the responsibility of the Faculty of Medicine Admissions Selection Committee. At present, the entering class is limited to 128 full-time students. At present, admission is limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada.
Preference is given to residents of British Columbia.
At present, admission is limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. The selection process reflects the values of the UBC Faculty of Medicine and is designed to select those students who would perform well in the UBC curriculum. Likewise, the selection processes of other Canadian medical schools reflect their values and are designed to choose those candidates who would be successful in their programs. Students who are competitive for admission to one Canadian medical school may therefore not be competitive for admission to another. Consideration is given to performance in courses at senior undergraduate and graduate levels, and to trends in grades from year to year.
