| What it is | This program teaches you the science behind how the human body works, how diseases develop, and how medicines treat them. You study human biology, pharmacology, and related medical sciences rather than practising medicine itself. The co-op version includes mandatory work terms at healthcare or research organizations alongside your coursework, letting you test whether this field suits you before committing to further training. | You start your first year studying foundational science — chemistry, physics, and related subjects that prepare you for medicine or specialized science programs. Rather than declare a major immediately, you complete a broad first year, then choose your focus (like biochemistry, physics, or health sciences) once you understand the field better. This suits students who know they want science but aren't certain which direction yet, or who want flexibility before committing. |
