Manager, Admissions and Enrollment, Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME)

The School of Medicine, established in 1965 and renamed the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine in 2004, offers major programs in undergraduate, postgraduate and graduate medical education. The clinical programs use not only the teaching hospital and ambulatory care and research facilities at the McMaster University Medical Centre division of Hamilton Health Sciences, but also the clinical teaching units at several of the major Hamilton hospitals and community health-care centres.

The three-year program in Medicine uses a problem-based approach to learning that should apply throughout the physician’s career. The components have been organized in sequential blocks with early exposure to patients and case management.

Since 2000, undergraduate enrolment at McMaster has more than doubled to over 600 medical students. Of the current intake of 220 first year medical students, 32 are admitted at each of the Niagara and Waterloo Regional Campuses and 156 in Hamilton. 3 are MD/PhD students.
