Most med schools require that you complete a 3-year undergraduate
degree. Some require a 4-year. Some schools require
particular courses, such as 1st-year chemistry. Others
do not – however, if you need the MCAT to
apply, you may want to choose courses that will help you
prepare for it.
Med school is typically a 4-year program, but there are
some 3-year MD Undergraduate Programs (eg Calgary, McMaster). Then,
you have Residency which is where you prepare to practice
in your area of medicine. This is a minimum of two years
- see http://www.carms.ca/. Some
students go on to do Fellowships and other degrees.
