The Faculty of Medicine at McGill University is committed to its mission of social accountability, including the recruitment and enrolment of a diverse student body and the delivery of a program of medical education that reflects the complexity and plurality of the public that our graduates will go on to serve as health professionals.
In addition to overseeing and assuring the fairness of the selection process for entry into medical school at McGill, the Office of Admissions is broadly responsible for the recruitment of talented individuals to our program, ensuring that this net is cast broadly across the communities we serve, and with attention to equitable representation of historically underrepresented groups within the medical school and the medical profession.
The Faculty of Medicine welcomes and encourages applications from students from all backgrounds, including students from underrepresented ethnic, cultural and racial groups, sexual minorities, and from all socio-economic backgrounds.
McGill University and the Faculty of Medicine welcome applications from candidates from across the provinces and territories who self-identify as belonging to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. A number of resources covering academic and non-academic support are available to Indigenous students within the Faculty and across the University campus, such as First Peoples' House, the Indigenous Access McGill Program (housed in the School of Social Work) and the Aboriginal Health Interest Group (a medical student association).
