A select number of positions are available for First Nations or Inuit applicants who are also residents of Quebec. Applicants to these positions will be asked to submit proof of their status as members of the Quebec-Labrador First Nations or Inuit as described in the Indian Act (R.S., 1985, c. I-5) or the Act respecting Cree, Inuit and Naskapi Native Persons (R.S.Q., c. A-33.1).
As the places for this group are jointly allocated to the four faculties of Medicine in Quebec, the selection of applicants is coordinated by Laval University, with all four faculties being involved in the process.
Candidates in this category with a university degree or partial completion of a university program can apply for the M.D.,C.M. program. The Admissions Committee may require them to complete a preparatory year as a condition of admission. Candidates who have not started university-level studies must apply for the Med-P program. A Bachelor's degree is required for application to the joint programs. Assessment of academic strength is based on the academic record in conjunction with the curriculum vitae.
