According to the release, to qualify for the program interested students must finish George Brown’s Pre-Health Science Pathway, submit 2 letters of recommendation, complete an interview, and meet all necessary admissions and grade requirements.
Students with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 will enroll in the 5-year Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. Those with an average GPA of 3.4 and a competitive MCAT or GRE score will qualify for the 4-year Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program.
