MDCM program for International Medical Graduates (IMG)

Two pathways are available for graduates of International medical programs (IMGs) seeking to obtain qualifications in Quebec.

 

IMG-2 

  • The IMG 2-year admissions pathway is open to graduates of International (non-Canadian) medical programs who are residents of Québec. Successful candidates enter the McGill MDCM program with advanced standing, and will obtain the MDCM degree in two years. 
  • The number of positions available is contingent on the number of attritions from the regular stream of the MDCM program in previous years, which may include years where there are no positions available.  Applications to the IMG-2 category are assessed together as a separate group.  Note that Quebec residents who have obtained the CMQ eligibility are considered for both IMG-2 and IMG-4 streams.
  • Curriculum: Applicants admitted via this pathway are exempted from the Fundamentals of Medicine and Dentistry component (FMD) of the MDCM program and enter the program in the Transition to Clinical Practice (TCP) component, starting in April of Med-2 (second year). Successful students continue into the clerkships and graduate with an MDCM degree from McGill. For more information on the requirements, please view: Applying_International Medical Graduates

IMG-4

  • The IMG 4-year admissions pathway is open to all IMGs, regardless of whether they are residents of Quebec, Canada, or International students.  Admitted candidates will complete all 4 years of the undergraduate medical education program, with no advanced standing.  Only residents of Quebec who have passed the equivalency process with the CMQ are eligible for the IMG-2 year stream. Please note that admission to the IMG-4 stream is highly competitive; IMG-4 candidates are assessed with all university degree-holding applicants in their residency category, not just other IMGs. 
  • IMG-4 applicants who also hold a non-medical bachelor's degree must submit transcripts and documentation for this degree. The full file will be reviewed and the selection process will be determined based on the most advantageous option for the candidate. For more information on the requirements to apply, please view: Applying_International Medical Graduates.
