What to watch for
Lakehead has no standalone medical sciences degree. Its own listing places Medical Sciences as a stream inside Chemistry (AF, 70%, Thunder Bay). It is an undergraduate science route, not entry to medicine. Lakehead has two campuses and many programmes run at only one: check the campus in the programme name before you apply, because Thunder Bay and Orillia are 1,400 km apart.
The same application also gets you to
Chemistry (includes Medical Sciences) (Thunder Bay) is the entry point for 2 other majors at Lakehead. You are not choosing between these at application time.
