HONORS SPECIALIZATION IN MEDICAL BIOPHYSICS (Medical Science Concentration)*
Enrollment in this module requires registration in the BMSc program and is limited. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee that students wishing to enter or progress in this module will be offered enrollment.  See BMSc PROGRAM for detailed information.

Admission Requirements
Completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 70% on the following 4.0 principal courses, with no mark below 60% in any of these (full or half) principal courses:

0.5 course from: Physics 1028A/B, 1301A/B, 1401A/B or 1501A/B.
0.5 course from: Physics 1029A/B, 1302A/B, 1402A/B or 1502A/B.
1.0 course from: Calculus 1000A/B or 1100A/B or 1500A/B, and Calculus 1301A/B or 1501A/B, or Applied Mathematics 1413.
1.0 course: Chemistry 1100A/B and 1200B, or the former Chemistry 1020, 1050 or 023.
1.0 course: Biology 1001A and 1002B (may be deferred until Year 2), or the former Biology 1222 or 1223

Notes for Admission Requirements:
1. The combination of either Physics 1301A/B and 1302A/B or 1501A/B and 1502A/B is preferred for students interested in an Honors Specialization module in Medical Biophysics. One of the former Physics 1020, 1024 or 1026 with a minimum mark of 60%, may be used in place of two half courses in Physics as listed above.

2. Students will take Physics 2101A/B and Physics 2102A/B in the module if they complete any of Physics 1301A/B, 1302A/B, 1401A/B, 1402A/B, 1501A/B or 1502A/B, or the former Physics 1020, 1024 or 1026.

3. Students who complete Physics 1028A/B and 1029A/B may choose any combination of Medical Biophysics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, Physics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, or Physics 2101A/B and 2102A/B in the module (an average of at least 80% must be achieved in Physics 1028A/B and 1029A/B, however, to choose Physics 2101A/B and 2102A/B).

4. Biology 1201A with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1001A, and Biology 1202B with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1002B.

Module
9.5 courses:

1.0 course from: Medical Biophysics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, or Physics 2128A/B and 2129A/B, or Physics 2101A/B and 2102A/B.
0.5 course from: Calculus 2302A/B, 2502A/B.
0.5 course from: Calculus 2303A/B, 2503A/B.
0.5 course: Chemistry 2213A/B.
0.5 course: Biochemistry 2280A.
0.5 course from: Biology 2382B, 2581B, Chemistry 2214A/B, Medical Biophysics 3336F/G.
0.5 course from: Biology 2244A/B or Statistical Sciences 2244A/B, or the former Statistical Sciences 2122A/B.
1.5 courses: Medical Biophysics 3501F, 3503G, 3970Z, or the former Medical Biophysics 3302E*.
1.0 course: Medical Biophysics 3505F and 3507G, or the former Medical Biophysics 3303E.
0.5 course: Medical Biophysics 3330F/G.
1.5 courses: Medical Biophysics 4970E (Research Project = 1.5 courses).
1.0 course from: Medical Biophysics 4445A/B, 4455A/B, 4467A/B, 4535A/B, 4475A/B.

*Students having completed the former Medical Biophysics 3302E require only 9.0 courses to complete the module.  The former Medical Biophysics 3302E (1.0 course) will be used toward the module as opposed to Medical Biophysics 3501F, 3503G and 3970Z (1.5 courses).  These students may take Medical Biophysics 3336F/G in place of Medical Biophysics 3330F/G toward the module.
