1.0 course: Medical Sciences 400E
5.0 courses*, at least 2.0 of which must be at the 400-level, from: Anatomy and Cell Biology 309, 319, 429a, Biochemistry 380G, 381a, 382b, 385a, 386b, 400F, 410a, 420b, 430b, 440a, 445F/G, 450a, 463G, 465a, Epidemiology and Biostatistics 330b, Medical Biophysics 302E, 303E, 330F, 331G, 333F, 335G, 402a/b, 409a/b, 467a/b, 470a/b/y, 475a, Microbiology and Immunology 220a, 221b, 357a, 360b, 361G, 461b, 465a, 467b, 473a, Pathology 240a, 390F/G, 440a/b, 450b, Pharmacology and Toxicology 206a/b, 355a/b, 356a/b, 358y, 432a/b, 436a/b, 438a/b, 443a/b, 454a/b, 462a, 463a, 466a/b, Physiology 312, 313y, 314a, 442a/b, 461a/b, 462a/b, 463a/b, 464a/b, 465a/b, 466a/b, 467a/b, 468a/b, 469a/b, 470a/b, 471a/b, 473a/b, or the former Physiology 310.

* Of these 5.0 courses, 2.0 courses must be chosen from one of the Basic Medical Science disciplines (see definition below), 2.0 courses must be chosen from either a second Basic Medical Science discipline or a combination of Basic Medical Science disciplines other than the first discipline chosen, and the remaining 1.0 course may be chosen from any of the Basic Medical Science disciplines, including disciplines already selected.

In addition to Biology 290F/G and Chemistry 213a/b, one half course with a laboratory component chosen from those courses available in the module 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.

Basic Medical Science Disciplines:
Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Medical Biophysics, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, and Physiology.
