Going into Year 3 of the Honours Specialization in IMS in September 2022?
The 10.0 courses required for the Honours Specialization in IMS are spread over Years 2-4.
Certain modular courses must be completed in Years 2, 3 and 4:
- Year 2: the six 2000-level half courses (3.0 courses) listed in the Admission Requirements must be completed by the end of Year 2
- Year 3: the 3.0 courses from Groups 1-3 that must be completed prior to Year 4 are listed in the Weighted Average Chart (scroll down to IMS):
- courses taken in Year 2 and during the summer sessions prior to Year 4 (e.g., Anatomy and Cell Biology 2200B), can count towards these 3.0 courses from Groups 1-3
- only courses completed by the end of the Fall/Winter of Year 3 will be included in the Weighted Average (used to rank students for admission to Year 4)
- 1.0 more modular course in the 2000-3000 range must be completed prior to graduation (i.e., in any of Years 2-4). Courses from Groups 1-2 and up to 0.5 course in Chemistry (and, no, Chemistry 2213A cannot be counted here since it is one of the six half courses in the Admission Requirements) will complete this 1.0 modular course
- courses taken in Year 2 and during the summer sessions prior to Year 4 (e.g., Anatomy and Cell Biology 2200B), can count towards these 3.0 courses from Groups 1-3
- Year 4:
- 1.5 "capstone courses": Medical Sciences 4990E or Medical Sciences 4995E (new for 2022) and Medical Sciences 4930F,
- Medical Sciences 4200B,
- Medical Sciences 4930F,
- 1.0 additional 4000-level courses are required from the subject areas listed in the Academic Calendar,
- Any 2000- or 3000-level modular courses not yet completed must be taken to satisfy the 10.0 modular courses.
Use the following resources to help with course selection:
- Academic Calendar
- Worksheet for Honours Specialization in IMS
- Graduation Requirements
- Access to Courses: having the prerequisite for a course does not guarantee registration as basic medical science courses have "constraints" in place (priorities, reserved spaces, etc.)
Admission to Years 3 and 4 of the Honours Specialization in IMS is not guaranteed
The module has limited enrolment in both years. See Modules Offered in BMSc and the chart of Minimum Averages for Admisson to Honours Specialization modules for more information.
