About Experimental Medicine

About Experimental Medicine

Experimental Medicine is a Division of the Department of Medicine charged with the task of providing graduate education in the Department, and enabling professors located in the research institutes of the Â鶹AV teaching hospitals and certain other centres to supervise graduate students. The Division offers various programs, each of which has different training objectives (see below). The international recognition of the high-quality training accorded our graduates is in essence what distinguishes graduates of our programs from the graduates of comparable programs in peer institutions.

Master of Science (M.Sc.); Experimental Medicine (Thesis) (45 credits)
Applicants for the M.Sc. in Experimental Medicine must hold either an M.D. degree, a B.Sc. degree, or the equivalent. The graduate training offered is wide-ranging and addresses experimental aspects of medicine in such diverse areas as endocrinology, hematology, cardiology, oncology, gastroenterology, genetics, and infectious diseases. This is a thesis program that may lead to careers in industry, or serve as a stepping stone to further graduate studies.
Master of Science (M.Sc.); Experimental Medicine (Thesis) — Bioethics (45 credits)
Applicants for the M.Sc. Bioethics Option program must hold an M.D.; a Nursing degree; a Physical and Occupational Therapy degree; and/or any other professional health training degree. Students who do not fit these criteria may be considered for admission on an individual basis. The objectives of this research-stream program are to allow students to conduct innovative research in relation to a bioethical issue pertinent to health care, and to acquire a working knowledge of bioethical issues from the current viewpoint of other relevant disciplines such as law, philosophy, and religious studies. The curriculum is composed of required courses (6 credits) offered in the Biomedical Ethics Unit, Bioethics courses (6-credit minimum) offered by the base faculty or department, and any graduate course required or accepted by a base faculty for the granting of a master’s degree, for a total of 21 credits. A minimum of 45 credits is required including the thesis. The research culminates in the preparation of a thesis.
Master of Science (M.Sc.); Experimental Medicine (Thesis) — Environment (45 credits)
Applicants for the M.Sc. Environment Option must meet the requirements for the M.Sc. in Experimental Medicine as well as those set out by the Â鶹AV School of Environment (MSE) for their graduate option. Acceptance into the option will be based on a student's academic experience and performance; availability of an MSE-accredited supervisor or co-supervisor; the proposed research; and plans for funding as articulated by the supervisor(s). The Environment Option is aimed at students who wish to use interdisciplinary approaches in their graduate research on environmental issues, and who wish to benefit from interactions that will occur as they are brought into contact with students from a wide range of disciplines through structured courses, formal seminars, and informal discussions and networking. The graduate option in Environment provides students with an appreciation for the role of science in informed decision-making in the environmental sector, and its influence on political, socio-economic, and ethical judgments.
Master of Science (M.Sc.); Experimental Medicine (Thesis) — Family Medicine (45 credits)
Ideal candidates for the M.Sc. Family Medicine Option would be practising family physicians or family medicine residents interested in conducting research in family medicine. Exceptionally, candidates from different backgrounds may be considered; i.e., allied health professionals and undergraduate students with relevant research backgrounds. This program is the first of its kind in Canada because it teaches rigorous research skills necessary to being successful researchers in the discipline of family medicine. It differs from the other programs in that it focuses on improving primary care delivery. All students are expected to complete a thesis to graduate. Graduates of this program may pursue careers in clinical or primary care research, government, or academia.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Experimental Medicine
Applicants for the Ph.D. in Experimental Medicine must normally hold an M.Sc. degree. The one exception is the possibility of direct entry offered to candidates having demonstrated academic excellence, i.e., a CGPA of 3.5 or more out of a possible 4.0 throughout their undergraduate studies. The training is in the conduct of research in a wide range of medical specialties. The method of instruction consists of a combination of in-class and practical training, as well as exposure to international conferences and guest seminars. Success is ultimately determined by the preparation and defense of a thesis. This program may lead to research careers in industry, government, or academia.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Experimental Medicine — Environment
Applicants to the Ph.D. Environment Option must meet the same qualifications as those for the M.Sc. Environment Option, the only difference being that they must hold an M.Sc. rather than simply a B.Sc. For further details, please see the section above regarding the M.Sc. Environment Option.
Graduate Diploma in Clinical Research (30 credits)
The objectives of this program are to give students exposure to both theoretical and practical issues relevant to the conception and conduct of a clinical research study, as well as allowing them to put these principles in practice by participating in an ongoing clinical trial. The core element of the diploma is the Practicum in Clinical Research. It is an active “clerkship” or “intern/resident-type” participation in an ongoing clinical trial and/or research program. Six 1-credit workshops will be provided by experts in the academic, industrial, and government sectors, and cover wide-ranging issues pertinent to the conduct of clinical research. The training provided qualifies students to manage and design clinical research studies in both academic and industrial settings.

Admission Requirements

Admission Requirements

M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Experimental Medicine

Admission to graduate studies and research in Experimental Medicine is no longer solely restricted to students who wish to register for the Ph.D. degree. Candidates who hold only an undergraduate degree in the medical and allied sciences (B.Sc. degree or an M.D. degree), must apply to the M.Sc. program, unless they have an undergraduate CGPA of 3.5 or more out of a possible 4.0, in which case they may apply for direct entry into the Ph.D. if they so desire. Candidates who already hold an M.Sc. apply directly to the Ph.D. program.

Admission is based on an evaluation by the Â鶹AV Committee, which looks for evidence of high academic achievement, and on acceptance by a research director. It is the policy of the Division that all students must be financially supported either by their supervisor or through studentships or fellowships.

In addition to the documentation currently required by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, a letter from the candidate's research director outlining the M.Sc. or Ph.D. project is necessary.

M.Sc. (Bioethics Option)

Admission to the master's program in Bioethics, from the base discipline Medicine, shall be limited to students having degrees in Medicine, Nursing, or Physical and Occupational Therapy, as well as any other professional health training degree. Students who do not fit these criteria may be considered for admission on an individual basis.

For those who apply to the M.Sc. (Bioethics Option), the requirements, as well as the application deadlines, are different. For further information regarding this program, please refer to the Bioethics entry or visit their website at www.mcgill.ca/biomedicalethicsunit/masters.

M.Sc. (Environment Option)

For those applicants wishing to apply to the Master's program (Environment Option), it should be noted that, although the requirements and application deadlines remain the same, the student must remit additional documents that constitute their application to NOT ONLY the Division of Experimental Medicine, but ALSO to the Â鶹AV School of Environment. All the relevant information can be found on the School of Environment website at www.mcgill.ca/mse/programs/envroption.

The option of in-course addition of the Environment Option is also available to students in Experimental Medicine. For further information, students should refer to the departmental website or contact the Student Affairs Office.
