0.5 course: Biochemistry 280a
1.0 course from: Chemistry 213a/b and either Chemistry 223b or a 0.5 course in Chemistry at the 200 level, or Chemistry 273a and 283G, or the former Chemistry 253.
0.5 course from: Biology 244a/b, Statistical Sciences 222a/b
1.5 courses: Biology 281b, 282b, 290F/G
1.0 course: Medical Sciences 400
2.0 courses* from: Anatomy and Cell Biology 309, 319, 329b, Biochemistry 380G, 381a, 382b, Epidemiology and Biostatistics 330b, Medical Biophysics 302E, 303E, 330F, 331G, Microbiology and Immunology 220a, 221a/b, 357a, 360b, 361G, Pathology 240a, Pharmacology and Toxicology 355a/b, 356a/b, Physiology 312, 313y, 314a, or the former Physiology 310.
3.0 additional courses*, at least 2.0 of which must be at the 400 level, from: Biochemistry 400F, 410a, 420b, 430b, 440a, 445F/G, 450a, 463G, 465a, Medical Biophysics 467a/b, 470a/b/y, Microbiology and Immunology 450b, 461b, 465a, 467b, 473a, Pathology 440a/b, 450b, Pharmacology and Toxicology 443a/b, 460a/b, 462a, 463a, Physiology 442a/b, 461a/b, 462a/b, 463a/b, 464a/b, 465a/b, 468a/b, 469a/b, 470a/b, 471a/b, 473b. 300-level courses from the above list, (if not previously taken) may also be included.

* These 5.0 courses from the Medical Science Disciplines (see definition above) have been divided into two groups. When selecting courses from the two groups, at least 2.0 must be from one Discipline and 2.0 from a second Discipline. The remaining 1.0 course may be from any of the Disciplines.

Progression requires a minimum average of 70% in the above 200-level Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, and Statistics courses.

1.5 courses with laboratories, numbered 200 or above, from the Medical Science Disciplines, Biology, or Chemistry must be completed prior to entering the final year of the module.

Students are advised to consult with the BMSc counsellor prior to selecting 300- and 400-level courses to ensure that appropriate prerequisite courses have been selected.
