BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM
The Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) Program, offered jointly by the Faculty of Science and the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, offers four-year undergraduate degrees for students interested in an advanced study of one or more of the disciplines offered by the following Basic Medical Science departments:
Anatomy and Cell Biology+
Biochemistry     
Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Medical Biophysics
Microbiology and Immunology
Pathology
Pharmacology
Physiology
Students wishing an interdisciplinary approach and a broader education in the basic medical sciences are invited to consider the Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) modules as an alternative to the discipline-specific modules.

+ Medical Cell Biology modules are offered by the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology

The Honors Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree:
This degree must contain either one of the following Honors Specializations:
Biochemistry
Biochemistry and Cell Biology
Biochemistry of Infection and Immunity
Chemical Biology
Clinical Biochemistry
Computational Biochemistry
Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) or Medical Sciences*
Medical Biophysics (Medical Science Concentration)
Medical Biophysics (Clinical Physics Concentration)
Medical Cell Biology
Medical Health Informatics
Microbiology and Immunology
Pathology and Toxicology
Pharmacology
Physiology
Physiology and Pharmacology
OR
two of the following Majors:
Biochemistry
Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) or Medical Sciences*
Medical Biophysics
Medical Cell Biology
Microbiology and Immunology
Pathology
Pharmacology
Physiology
*Note: Students entering Year 3 in September 2014 will register in one of the modules in IMS rather than Medical Sciences. Only those students entering Year 4 in September 2014 may register in an Honors Specialization in Medical Sciences. Only students registered in a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree prior to September 1, 2013, may complete a Major in Medical Sciences. Students admitted to the BMSc Program after September 1, 2013 may include the Major in Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) in a BMSc degree but not the Major in Medical Sciences.
