ASMPA - Medical Professional Stream

www.trentu.ca/premedicalstudies

The Medical Professional Stream (MPS) is a unique four-year support program designed for students seeking to pursue a professional medical program and career after graduating from Trent University. Not only are applicants to professional medical programs expected to possess a solid academic profile with competitive grades and admission test scores (e.g., MCAT, PCAT or DAT), non-academic contributions distinguish applicants and are key to demonstrating suitability to be a medical professional. The MPS is designed to assist students with their co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and the integration of these within their academic studies.

The MPS complements a student’s undergraduate degree and is non-academic in nature. This means that students do not receive academic credit for being enrolled in the MPS. Students are enrolled in the MPS while simultaneously completing their undergraduate degree. During their first year of study, students select their desired degree major (with the exception of students admitted to direct-entry programs such as Biomedical Science, Conservation Biology, Forensic Science, or Kinesiology).

Current students have the opportunity to apply for “Transfer to Medical Professional Stream” on the myTrent portal between February 1 and May 15. Students must satisfy MPS requirements each year to remain enrolled in the stream. Enrolment in the MPS is not required to obtain an undergraduate degree, but rather is considered “in addition” to an undergraduate degree.

A programing fee will apply; students admitted to the Medical Professional Stream will be charged an annual fee for the support and delivery of services.
