The BMSc program is designed for students at Western interested in studying the Medical Sciences<\/a> including Medical Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Medical Biophysics, Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences, Microbiology and Immunology, Neuroscience, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students interested in Neuroscience will normally apply for admission to the Medical Sciences First Entry Program and then submit an Intent to Register for the limited number of spaces available in the Honors Specialization in Neuroscience (BSc) in Year 2. Any student at the University satisfying the first year Admission Requirements, however, can be considered for admission to Year 2 of the Honors Specialization in Neuroscience. The Admission Requirements for the Honors Specialization in Neuroscience include 1.0 course in mathematics selected from a broader list of courses than required in the Medical Sciences First Entry Program. Students in Medical Sciences 1 who intend to register in the Honors Specialization in Neuroscience in Year 2 may choose, therefore, 1.0 mathematics course from this broader list unless they wish to maintain the flexibility of applying to Year 3 of the BMSc Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-med student hopefuls interested in the modules leading to a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree will normally complete the Medical Sciences First Entry Program (Medical Sciences 1 and 2) and submit an Intent to Register during Medical Sciences 2, requesting admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program. Students who complete the Medical Sciences First Entry Program are ensured admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program, provided they satisfy certain conditions in Medical Sciences 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is anticipated that the available spaces in Year 3 of the BMSc Program will not be filled by students in Medical Sciences 2 who satisfy the conditions for assured admission. Students who complete the courses in Medical Sciences 1 and 2 without being registered in the Medical Sciences First Entry Program, as well as students in Medical Sciences 2 who do not satisfy the conditions for assured admission to the BMSc Program, may apply for admission to the remaining spaces in Year 3.  Students in this \u201ccompetitive pool\u201d must satisfy certain conditions, including a minimum average of 75% on the 2000-level courses listed in the Admission Requirements for the modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission to the Medical Sciences First Entry Program in the Faculty of Science (Years 1 and 2) will require the following Ontario Grade 12 U Courses:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
