A Message from Associate Dean

 

Welcome to our medical school! Our school is known to be innovative and leading edge. We are proud of the quality of physician we produce.

The upcoming year brings with it exciting challenges.  The Alberta government has recognized there is a physician shortage and in 2009 approved a class expansion to 180 for the incoming class in August 2009. In August 2010, our intake declined to 170 students. For August 2011 intake, class size is 180. 

We continue to undergo major infrastructure changes to the Health Sciences Centre to make way for more lecture theatres and classrooms. We opened our new Simulation Centre on April 19, 2010. Current construction includes the addition of a fourth lecture theatre. We will also begin planning the use of the newly approved South Health Campus, a facility rich in training potential for our increasing cohort of students. We are very excited to help educate future physicians to promote and support the health of Albertans going forward.

Thank you for your interest in the Undergraduate Medical Education program at the University of Calgary.
