New admissions process improves equitable access to the Queen’s MD Program – QU
April 2, 2024
Queen’s Health Sciences (QHS) is adapting its MD Program admissions process to create a more inclusive entry point for all applicants, minimize systemic barriers to becoming a doctor, and increase student diversity.
The renewed medical student admissions process will launch this fall, for 2025 admissions, and includes a pathway for lower socioeconomic status (SES) applicants and adjustments to the current Indigenous pathway. A new comprehensive approach to support the recruitment of Black students will launch in a second phase of this admissions change.
Unique in Canada, the new process aims to enhance fairness and diversify the MD Program student body by establishing a transparent, equitable, and inclusive process.
