Year 2 Courses
The following 2000-level or Year 2 courses are recommended for students who are interested in pursuing an Honors Specialization, Specialization or two Majors modules offered by the basic medical science departments (with the exception of Medical Biophysics - see below). These modules form a BMSc degree, and as entry into the BMSc Program is limited and competitive, course selection in Year 2 is critical. The recommended Year 2 courses are termed foundation courses and preference is given to students who complete 3.0 of these courses by the end of Year 2. Completion of the 3.5 foundation courses gives students the greatest flexibility in selecting modules and courses in Year 3. Please review Applying to Year 3 of the BMSc Program for further details about admission to Year 3 of the BMSc Program and Course Selection Guidelines for the courses you should take in each of Years 2, 3 and 4 for the various Honors Specialization and Major modules..

The courses above comprise the core or foundation for modules offered in the basic medical sciences. If you are combining modules (i.e Double Majors, Honors Specialization plus a Minor) you will find that several of these courses will appear in both modules. These courses are termed common courses. To understand how to complete two modules containing common courses please review the Common Course Policy for Science/BMSc students.
Modules in Medical Biophysics
For admission to either the Major in Medical Biophysics or the Honors Specialization in Medical Biophysics (Medical Sciences concentration) within the BMSc Program, preference will be given to students who have completed 3.0 of the following foundation courses. Please review other admission criteria at Applying to Year 3 of the BMSc Program.
