Revised February 2014 1
CHEM 2360 and CHEM 2370 replace CHEM 2770 and CHEM 2780. Applicants must have a minimum of 6 credit hours in
Biochemistry with a minimum grade of “C” in each course. At the University of Manitoba this requirement can be fulfilled by
taking CHEM/MBIO 2360 and CHEM/MBIO 2370.

HNS (department) electives are the student’s choice. To graduate, the student MUST include 15 credits of department
electives (listed below).
Courses designated as electives will fulfill the 24 credit hours of electives listed as degree requirements in the Undergraduate
Calendar. The courses listed as electives meet the requirements of the University of Manitoba’s pre-med professional
preparation.

The Faculty of Medicine will no longer require applicants to have specific English or French literature courses as a pre-requisite
to Medicine. We have, as a result, increased the Humanities/Social Science Requirement. As a result of change in the entrance
requirement applicants must now have completed at least 18 credit hours in the humanities/social sciences. Applicants who
complete a 4 Year Major or Honours program may waive up to 12 credit hours of the humanities/social sciences prerequisite.
Applicants with a BSc (General) or BA (General) must complete the full requirement. The Faculty of Arts describes the
recognized subject fields for humanity and social science requirements in section 5.1.1 of the Undergraduate Calendar.
This information is to be used only as a guide and is NOT a substitute for the Faculty of Medicine Applicant Information
Bulletin. It is the responsibility of all pre-Medicine students to obtain and read the current Applicant Information Bulletin when it
is available from www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/admissions. It is the student's responsibility to satisfy the requirements for entry to
Medicine and for the Bachelor degree of choice.
