ABSTRACT
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, together with the Schulich School of Medicine
and Dentistry, offer a combined degree program leading toward a Bachelor of Engineering Science
degree and an MD degree. The combined program takes seven years rather than eight years if both
degrees were pursued separately. The program is aimed at high-achieving students and requires high
admission performance standards. Combined studies in Engineering and Medicine prepare students for a
career in technology dependent medicine.
Admission and Program Structure
The admission process involves two steps. The first one involves admission into the Engineering
program. Students follow the common first year of the Engineering program. Afterwards, they must be
admitted into the Electrical Engineering program (Option F: Electrical Engineering and Medicine), which
they follow for an additional two years. Admission is competitive and limited. The second step of the
admission process involves admission to the MD program. In order to be eligible, students must attain a
sufficient grade average during the Engineering part of the program (the minimum GPA for W2010
admission is 3.7), must meet minimum performance standards in MCAT, and must attend a personal
interview with the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. The MCAT must be written before the
third year of Engineering (for the following year’s admission). Students must apply to the MD program
by the deadlines established by the Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS). Admission to
the Engineering part of the combined program does not guarantee admission to the MD part of the
program. The Schulich School of Medicine has designated three (3) spots for Engineering students
pursuing the Engineering and Medicine combined program. More detailed admission requirements may
be found at: http://www.schulich.uwo.ca/education/adm.../index.php. Please note that this
program is only open to Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada.
