Before entering the concurrent BESc/MD degree program, students must have completed the first three years of the Electrical Engineering program at Western, Option F (Electrical Engineering and Medicine). In addition to applying for the concurrent degree program through the Office of the Associate Dean - Academic of the Faculty of Engineering, students must also make a separate application for admission into the MD program. As a part of the application process, students must write a letter to the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry (Admission Office) indicating their intent to proceed into the concurrent BESc/MD program.

To be eligible for the concurrent degree program, students must have completed all the requirements of the first-year curriculum in the Faculty of Engineering with a minimum year weighted average (YWA) of 80%, and the second and third year program of Option F (Electrical Engineering and Medicine), in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a minimum year weighted average (YWA) of 80% in each year. In addition, the applicant must meet the minimum performance standards in the MCAT and GPA, determined by the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, and must be invited and attend a personal interview with the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. A confidential assessment form, proficiency in English and Basic Life Support Training also are required.

Entrance into the concurrent degree program is competitive and limited.

A student interested in the concurrent BESc/MD program will apply during the February registration period of the first common year of the Engineering program for admission to the Electrical Engineering Program, Option F (Electrical Engineering and Medicine). The student must write the MCAT in April or August before the third year of the Electrical Engineering and Medicine Program, for the following year's admission into the MD Program. Students must apply to the MD Program by the deadline established (usually October) by the Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS) during the third year of the Electrical Engineering and Medicine Program.

Admission to the BESc portion of the program does not guarantee admission to the MD program.

A student enrolled in the concurrent BESc/MD degree program must satisfy the following progression requirements:

Year 2: a minimum YWA of 80% in courses taken as a part of Option F (Electrical Engineering and Medicine).

Year 3: a minimum YWA of 80% in courses taken as a part of Option F (Electrical Engineering and Medicine).

Year 4: progression requirements of the MD program and successful completion of Engineering courses.

Year 5: progression requirements of the MD program.

Year 6: progression requirements of the MD program.

Year 7: progression requirements of the MD program and successful completion of Engineering courses.

If the student fails to satisfy the conditions above, he or she will be required to withdraw from the concurrent program and will be required to transfer out of Option F into one of Options A, B, or C
in the Electrical Engineering program.
