Hi,
I would like to request for the information on studies in Medicine in Canadian universities. From the universities websites it seems to be a very competitive field where only approx. 10% succeed even after good grades and MCAT results.
Please share your experience if anyone has taken this path.
What are the other options for the students who does not get selected in Canada? Can they get some education loan if they go overseas (e.g. UK or AUS) for medicine studies?
I am holding a Canadian PR and soon will be moving to Canada from Singapore. The query is for my daughter who is doing her O level (10th std equivalent) & interested in studying Medicine.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am curious to know which subject one would choose in High school,if student wishes to enter into Medicine field?
What is the minimum percentage should be achieved in High school and University education for Medicine admission in Canada?
Kids are in public schools ,so should they be tutored after school for nice percentage?
After High school which University to choose for getting into MD?
What is the merit scholarships for University undergraduate and MD studies?90% or more?and if student has got 90% then would the fees for his undergraduate studies (all 4 years)be paid by government?
Any tips and suggestions ?

A lot of south asian students are enrolled in Canadian medical programs and do very well. You do not need to volunteer in third world countries, but you do need to be a "well rounded candidate" which means it is essential to have volunteer work in a leadership position on your resume and it helps to have a solid understanding of issues affecting health care in Canada and abroad for interviews.
They can't just accept on the basis of grades because too many students have the required grades. Grade inflation is quite a big issue in Canada and elsewhere. The best program to take is a health science program, but there are other options. Some people chose easier undergraduate degrees in order to get higher marks (grade inflation) and make sure to cover a lot of health care related topics through their volunteer work. I have a friend in medical school who was accepted out of an engineering program (this is a bad way to go, it is hard to get the required marks in engineering).
Different schools favour different types of candidates. For example, McMaster is a very well regarded school and takes a lot of candidates with varied undergraduate degreees and only requires the verbal score from the MCAT.
Advise your daughter to develop efficient study habits and maintain involvement in some activities outside school.

By issues affecting health care, I mean social determinants of health. Any volunteer work related to this would be looked upon favourably in my understanding. So, it does not have to be volunteering with a health organization but an organization serving marginalized people or a social justice organization, whatever interests her as long as she can articulate why she was interested and how this relates to her future career.
