Admission requirements

Applicants must follow the official academic route for their prior education. Published routes include an eligible Quebec college diploma or a completed bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent. University studies must lead to the required degree by August 15 before entry. Biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics prerequisites apply; applicants should use the official tables because the exact course route depends on prior education. UdeM MD eligibility

Applicants must also meet UdeM's legal-status and residence rules. The regular routes require Canadian citizenship, permanent residence, or qualifying refugee/protected status and generally require Quebec-resident status, subject to the official categories and limited special quotas. Applicants should verify their own category rather than infer eligibility from this summary. UdeM MD eligibility and categories

French proficiency is required, and Casper is mandatory. For the regular Quebec college and university categories, UdeM currently publishes a minimum 33.000 academic score (CRC or CRA). The program page lists category-specific conditions and exceptions, so meeting a minimum does not guarantee progression. UdeM MD requirements UdeM Casper

Important dates

Applications for fall 2027 open August 1, 2026. The application deadline is November 1, 2026 for university applicants and applicants who studied outside Quebec, and March 1, 2027 for applicants whose studies are only at a Quebec college. UdeM fall 2027 dates

The same source separately lists French-language proof deadlines of November 15, 2026 for university or outside-Quebec applicants and March 15, 2027 for Quebec-college-only applicants. These are later than the corresponding application deadlines and should not be confused with them. UdeM French-language dates

For Casper, UdeM lists November 5, 2026 as the latest French or English sitting for university and outside-Quebec applicants. For Quebec-college-only applicants, the latest listed sitting is February 18, 2027 in English or March 2, 2027 in French. UdeM Casper dates

Exact fall 2027 MEM invitation, interview, and decision dates are not published on the current official medicine pages as of August 11, 2026. Follow any category-specific notice and the instructions in an invitation.

How selection works

For the regular Quebec college and university categories, UdeM publishes a first-stage score of 60% academic record and 40% Casper to determine who is invited to the MEM. The school says approximately three applicants are interviewed for each available seat. Category-specific processes can differ, so applicants should confirm the row that applies to them. UdeM MD selection criteria

After the MEM, the final ranking for those regular categories is based on the MEM result. The interview can be eliminatory. This means academic record and Casper determine interview progression under the published regular route, while the MEM determines the final ranking among interviewed applicants. UdeM MD selection criteria

All applicants file through the preparatory-year admission record. The admissions committee determines whether an admitted applicant completes that year or enters Year 1 of the MD program directly, based on the applicant's academic background and the applicable rules. UdeM MD admission route

Interview details

Confirmed

Selected applicants complete the French-language multiple mini-interviews, known as MEM. UdeM describes a circuit of stations built around scenarios and discussion with an evaluator. The interview assesses qualities relevant to medical training rather than testing medical knowledge. UdeM MEM

The faculty's current general MEM page says interviews are normally held over a Saturday and Sunday in April, with sites in Montréal and Québec City. That page does not yet provide an exact fall 2027 schedule, so this is process context rather than a confirmed 2027 date. UdeM MEM

Not published

UdeM has not published the exact fall 2027 MEM dates, invitation timing, station count, station or preparation duration, scoring rubric, or site-assignment logistics. Detailed documents currently linked from the faculty page describe the 2026 administration and should not be treated as fall 2027 instructions. Use the invitation issued for your cycle.

Who this program may suit

UdeM may suit applicants who can complete a French-language medical education and want the choice of Montréal, Mauricie, or a Laurentides regional pathway. The official program describes a four-year doctorate with early clinical exposure, integrated basic and clinical sciences, and progression toward clerkship. UdeM MD program

The strongest practical fit constraints are language, applicant category, residence status, prerequisite equivalency, and the committee's placement decision between the preparatory year and direct MD entry. Applicants should compare the official route for their own background rather than assume that a general summary predicts placement or admission.

Practice and next step

Start with the featured fair-access scenario. Record one spoken response that identifies the affected people, clarifies missing facts, weighs competing needs, makes a transparent decision, and explains a respectful follow-up.

Review the recording for one observable weakness: perhaps you settled on a rule too quickly, did not explore another perspective, or gave a conclusion without explaining how you would communicate it. Record a second attempt with one deliberate adjustment and compare the two. Use the CASPer path to repeat the same improvement loop across additional ethical and interpersonal scenarios. Check your official UdeM and Acuity instructions before simulating any cycle-specific timing.
