About Family Medicine
About Family Medicine
The Department of Family Medicine at McGill University has been in existence since the late 1970s. Through the efforts of dedicated and committed faculty members, our department has gained provincial, national, and international renown for its programs. We have graduated over 1,000 family physicians who are working in urban and rural settings around the world. Health Care Reform in Canada has placed the discipline of Family Medicine at the centre of health care delivery. Family physicians have the responsibility to ensure that every individual receives continuous and comprehensive care. The Department of Family Medicine is an academic department composed of health care professionals dedicated to teaching, research, service, and the advancement of the discipline of Family Medicine, locally, nationally, and internationally.
The McGill Department of Family Medicine has the mandate to:

Admission Requirements
Revision, October 2012. Start of revision.
The Family Medicine Option program is open to family physicians practising in Quebec interested in conducting research in family medicine. Exceptionally, we may consider candidates with a different background, such as allied health professionals, and undergraduate students across disciplines wanting to undertake research relevant to family medicine. In this case, you may be considered for admission on an individual basis and should contact the graduateprograms.fammed [at] mcgill.ca (Program Coordinator) to discuss eligibility.
What do we look for?
- High academic achievement: A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.4 is required out of a possible maximum CGPA of 4.0 or a GPA of 3.6 is required in the last two years of full-time studies.
- Proof of competency in oral and written English: TOEFL: International students who have not received their instruction in English or whose mother tongue is not English must pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 567 (paper-based test) or 86, with each component score not less than 20 (Internet-based test). The TOEFL institution code for McGill University is 0935. Alternatively, students may submit International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores with a minimum overall band score of 6.5. Original score reports must be submitted (photocopies will not be accepted). For further information, please refer to the website.
- For overseas graduates, an attempt is made to situate the applicant's academic grades among the standards of their universities. Grades are, however, converted to their McGill equivalent. Conversion charts, as well as required admission documentation for each country, are provided by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) and prospective students should refer to these in order to determine if they are admissible to our program.
Application Procedures
Application Procedures
McGill’s online application form for graduate program candidates is available at www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply.

Supervisor: You must have met and confirmed a supervisor before the application process can commence. Please contact the graduateprograms.fammed [at] mcgill.ca (Program Coordinator) by March 1st to ensure that you have a supervisor. Prior to processing any admission, we require each file to contain a completed , signed by the proposed supervisor and student. Once the supervisor has been confirmed, the student will need to provide a 1–2 page Project Description of the proposed research.
After the Department of Family Medicine has informed the student that they have passed the first level of approval and that they have been successfully matched up with a supervisor, they are then required to apply officially with the Division of Experimental Medicine and Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
