Doctor of Medicine

Memorial University's Doctor of Medicine program is a professional degree delivered through the Faculty of Medicine in St. John's, structured to prepare graduates for postgraduate residency training rather than for direct entry into practice. The curriculum is organized into four sequential phases, each covering different stages of medical education, though the overview page does not break down the specific content or clinical placement details of each phase. On completion, graduates become eligible to apply for residency positions across Canada through the Canadian Residency Matching Service, including the postgraduate specialty programs offered by the Faculty. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in any discipline from an accredited institution, a valid MCAT score within the preceding five years, and completion of the Casper assessment; only Canadian citizens and permanent residents may apply, as the program does not accept international applicants. Admission is described as highly competitive. The program suits students who already hold an undergraduate degree in any field and are seeking entry into medical training that leads toward Canadian residency and eventual licensure as a physician.
