School Info
If you want to acquire the skills you will need to practice Medicine in a friendly progressive environment where education, research and patient care are integrated into your curriculum, then this is the place for you. Our goal is to provide you with not only the technical skills and scientific knowledge which will allow you to become a competent doctor, we also want you to be a kind, caring and empathetic physician.
Curriculum
The curriculum that makes up the MD program of the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta balances the scientific basis of medicine with early clinical experience. The curriculum emphasizes life-long learning, problem-solving skills, team work, and interprofessional education. Each course presents the material in a reasoned progression from basic information to clinical application building on foundational knowledge and skills in step-wise fashion, providing progressively increasing clinical exposure during Years 1 and 2. It ultimately evolves into a fully immersive clinical learning setting by the beginning of the third year. A highlight of the program is the faculty's full-dissection anatomy lab. It is one of only a few in the country and is kept open day and night to provide students a valuable learning experience through the dissection of human cadavers. Our learning environment is evolving to embrace the abilities and preferences of students through the creative use of technology and by seizing the educational opportunities newly opened up by this technology.
Facilities
The University of Alberta's medical students train in some of the best medical facilities in Canada. The majority of pre-clinical education is conducted at the University of Alberta Hospital (UAH). As one of Canada's leading clinical, research and teaching hospitals, the UAH treats more than 700,000 patients annually from across western and northern Canada. The UAH is recognized as a national leader in organ and tissue transplant, both in success rates and in transplant volumes.
