Medical schools in Canada and the United States are not divided into undergraduate and master's degrees (doctors in North America are medical doctors). Before applying for McGill University Medical College, you must have completed at least three years of undergraduate study in other majors (more than 95% of them already have a bachelor's or master's degree in other majors when applying)! The training mode of doctors in the United States and Canada is completely different from that in China: four years of undergraduate course+four years of medical school+three to eight years of clinical practice and hospitalization training = =1~16 years.

Unlike medical schools in China, you generally have to have at least one bachelor's degree to apply for medical schools in Canada and the United States. The requirements for admission to any medical school are more difficult than other majors. Your first bachelor's degree must be good (GPA must be at least 3.7, that is, at least A-), and your grades are only one aspect. Extracurricular hobbies and long-term volunteer experience are very important, which have high requirements for the applicant's social experience, cultural language and personality. The last stage of the interview is the hardest for me! ! In addition, you must pass the special entrance examination MCAT of medical college with high scores.

Medical college is usually a four-year program. After four years of study, I got a primary license and started my internship as a resident. During this internship, the salary is very low (about 40,000 ~ 50,000/year), and it is also a crazy busy period. If you just want to be a family health care doctor, you can practice-stay in hospital for 2-3 years. If you want to become a specialist, you must practice-stay in hospital for at least 5 years, and you must pass the final medical license and stay in hospital during the internship, among which neurosurgery and plastic surgery must practice-stay in hospital for 6-8 years. So it is not difficult for you to understand why the process of becoming a doctor is a long process of spirit, body and perseverance. Compared with China, being a doctor in North America is much stricter, but because of this, the income of doctors, especially their social status, is very high (the average annual salary of family doctors is 6.5438+0.8 million, and that of surgeons ranges from several hundred thousand to more than 6.5438+0.8 million).

Medical schools in the United States and Canada have no restrictions on applicants' first undergraduate major (in fact, applicants with different professional backgrounds are strongly encouraged), but no matter what major, you must complete the first-year courses in literature such as biology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and English literature before applying for medical school. Some medical schools also require freshmen to study psychology and sophomores to study biochemistry. The competition for medical college entrance is in a white-hot state, and there is no hope for college students who are not excellent in all aspects. The United States and Canada have extremely high requirements for the profession of doctors, requiring medical applicants to be smart, mature, socially responsible, compassionate and sociable, so as to help others. It is not difficult to understand why other majors are required to study for four years. It is best to have several years of work experience after graduating from college before entering medical school.

Due to the high standards and status of doctors, excellent local students in North America are eager for medical schools, and the competition is in a white-hot state. Non-native applicants are obviously at a disadvantage in cultural language and various soft powers, which are very important qualities of medical schools.

Relatively speaking, medical schools in Britain and Australia are more advanced than those in the United States and Canada, and there is no requirement to study for a bachelor's degree first. Therefore, many applicants who were eliminated in the United States and Canada went to medical schools in Britain and Australia (the tuition fees are certainly higher than those in the United States), but they may not be able to return to North America to practice medicine after finishing their studies. Because the North American Medical Association has strict restrictions on doctors who graduated from outside North America to obtain medical licenses, many doctors who graduated from outside North America have to work as taxi drivers, restaurant waiters and factory workers in North America.

In principle, McGill University School of Medicine will consider accepting international students, but I know that McGill's MD program has never admitted a "China student" in at least the last 40 years! If you are sure that your abilities in all aspects are one in a million, and you think that you can create the first place in history in this field, I am ready to tell you the rest of the questions! !

However, if you want to consider studying for a doctorate in basic medicine, it will be much easier. There are many foreign students (including China students) studying for such doctors in McGill University, but these doctors can only do basic medical research in the laboratory, not be clinicians, so they can only be regarded as graduates of graduate schools, not medical schools!
