In all instances a copy of your status needs to be sent to the attention of Mme Louise Tanguay by mail or in person to the CSSPNQL of Wendake:
- Be a Quebec resident;
- Declare your First Nations or Inuit status on your application form;
- Have a minimum R-score of 28 or more听(for admission to the听Med-P Qualifying Year); or the equivalent GPA (approximately 3.2/4.0) for admission to MDCM
- Meet all other general requirements for admission to the MDCM program (university applicants) or Med-P Qualifying Year听(CEGEP applicants);
- Submit your application and required supporting documents by November 1 (university applicants) or March 1 (CEGEP applicants)
- Take Casper test, in English or French, prior to the respective candidate category听deadline.
Choosing to declare your status
- Self-identification is entirely optional for Indigenous applicants; furthermore, self-identification can in no way negatively impact the admission decision. 成人VR视频 recognizes that Indigenous applicants, their communities and connections between the two are extremely varied. For some, Indigenous identity and community connection runs deep, for others it is less significant. If you consider yourself as First Nations, Inuit, or M茅tis, we hope that you will self-identify on your 成人VR视频 application.
- Quebec-resident applicants with First Nations or Inuit status must听declare and confirm their status if they wish听to be considered for the听QFNIFMP pathway.听 All QFNIFMP applications will also simultaneously be considered in the general听Quebec cohort (applications will be evaluated according to the standard selection processes for this cohort and the First Nations and Inuit cohort. It is therefore possible for a candidate鈥檚 application to be assessed in both applicant pools.)
- Applicants who choose not to declare their First Nations or Inuit status will be assessed in the same pool as the general听Quebec university cohort (MDCM program) or CEGEP cohort (Med-P Qualifying Year).
QFNIFMP Selection Process
Following selection steps: Individual Interview and Mini-Multiple Interviews
If your application is retained after the 1st selection level (the evaluation of your academic file), you will need to fulfill 2听other steps, and this information will be communicated to you in March (date tbc), the virtual individual interview and the Mini-multiple interviews (MMI 成人VR视频).
- Individual Interview online: April 10 & 12, 2025
- Mini Multiple Interviews (MMI) held at 成人VR视频 in the language of your choice (English or French) on听April 17, 2025.听The complete information will be sent to you by email by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of 成人VR视频.
- The virtual MMI is divided into 2 separate Zoom meetings, with a break in between. The length of each zoom interview session is up to one hour. A few days prior to your interview in April, you will receive an email with your two Zoom links, the zoom time(s) to sign in for each of the two interview zoom meeting will be indicated. The sign-in times are approximately 10 minutes before the start of each of your zoom meeting sessions; you will see the ''waiting room'' screen in Zoom and can verify that your connection is working while you wait. There is no need to click on the link earlier than this. All times are Eastern Standard Time (Montreal time).
There will be an online information session on the program and听training sites on March 29, 2025.
Final Selection
If you have completed the selection process, you are now part of the final selection for the Quebec Indigenous QFNIFMP Pathway.
Important: Please take note that being part of the final selection does not guarantee听you will receive an offer of admission.
The final selection is based on the results you have obtained in the 2 steps of the selection process outlined below:
1. Individual Interview: 50%
2. MMI results: 50%
The administrators of the QFNIFMP program and the interfaculty admissions听committee of听Quebec听validate听the list of candidates invited to the different steps, as well as the final selection. The results will be sent by email.听 For an equitable process, the four faculties of medicine in Quebec have agreed to not provide any individual feedback on the candidate's performance during the individual or the Mini-Multiple Interviews (MMI).
Details
The Quebec First Nations and Inuit Faculties of Medicine Program aims to facilitate access to the medical profession for Quebec First Nations and Inuit students. Interested students may access support through the application process, and successful candidates who are ultimately admitted to medical programs benefit from mentoring from First Nations and Inuit doctors and, wherever possible, First Nations or Inuit medical students.
