A degree containing this module normally requires 4 years for completion. When combined with one of the following Majors, this module leads to a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree: Biochemistry, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS), Medical Biophysics, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pharmacology or Physiology. See BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM for more information.
Both 1000- and 2000-level courses are included in the Admission Requirements for students pursuing the Major in Medical Cell Biology in BMSc degrees, since admission to the BMSc Program does not occur until Year 3. The Admission Requirements for students pursuing the Major in other regular undergraduate degrees include only 1000-level courses, since students may register in the Major in Year 2 in non-BMSc degrees. The Module requirements (below) are the same for all students completing the Major.
Admission to this Major module occurs in Year 3 and requires admission to Year 3 of the Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) Program. Students will usually complete MEDICAL SCIENCES FIRST ENTRY (Medical Sciences 1 and 2) prior to admission to a BMSc degree.
The 1000-level half courses listed below must each be completed with a mark of at least 60%:
1.0 course: Biology 1001A* and Biology 1002B*.

* Biology 1201A with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1001A, and Biology 1202B with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1002B.
The courses below must be completed with a minimum mark of 60% in each prior to admission to the Major module in Year 3. These courses will also be used towards the Module requirements. See ADMISSION TO THE BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM and MODULES OFFERED IN THE BMSc PROGRAM for additional requirements (averages, course load, etc.).

0.5 course from: Biology 2290F/G, Biology 2581A/B.
0.5 course from: Biology 2244A/B or Statistical Sciences 2244A/B.
Completion of first-year requirements, including a mark of at least 60% in each of the 3.0 (full or half) principal courses below:
1.0 course: Biology 1001A* and Biology 1002B*.
1.0 course: Chemistry 1301A/B and Chemistry 1302A/B.
0.5 course from: Calculus 1000A/B, Calculus 1500A/B.
0.5 course from: Applied Mathematics 1201A/B, Calculus 1301A/B, Calculus 1501A/B, Mathematics 1600A/B.
The following must be completed by the end of second year, with a mark of at least 60% in each half course:
0.5 course from: Physics 1201A/B, Physics 1501A/B, the former Physics 1028A/B, the former Physics 1301A/B.
0.5 course from: Computer Science 1026A/B, Physics 1202A/B, Physics 1502A/B, the former Physics 1029A/B, the former Physics 1302A/B.
* Biology 1201A with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1001A, and Biology 1202B with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1002B.

Notes:
1. The following 4000-level courses in Anatomy and Cell Biology require a minimum mark of 70% in their prerequisite courses: Anatomy and Cell Biology 4410A, Anatomy and Cell Biology 4411B, Anatomy and Cell Biology 4425A/B, Anatomy and Cell Biology 4452A/B, and Anatomy and Cell Biology 4461B. Both Anatomy and Cell Biology 4200A and Anatomy and Cell Biology 4201B require a minimum mark of 80% in their prerequisite courses. See COURSES in the Academic Calendar.
2. To register in Year 4 of a degree containing this module, students must satisfy the Admission Requirements for the module and have the prerequisite to register in at least two of the 4000-level courses in Anatomy and Cell Biology.
3. BSc and BMSc students completing the Major in Medical Cell Biology in addition to another module must adhere to the Common Course Policy if the same courses at the 2000- to 4000-level appear in more than one of the modules (see faculty websites for details).
4. The former Anatomy and Cell Biology 3319 may be used in place of Anatomy and Cell Biology 2200A/B and Anatomy and Cell Biology 3200A/B.
