  • Eligibility: Open to students entering or continuing in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at the University of Calgary.
    Students in year two or three of the Doctor of Medicine program must be in satisfactory academic standing to be eligible for these awards.
    Students entering the Bachelor of Health Sciences or Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation program (admitted on the basis of their high school grades) are not eligible for these awards and should apply for High School Awards (refer to the “High School Awards” section of this Calendar for details).
    Students continuing in the Bachelor of Health Sciences or Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation program are not eligible for these awards and should apply for Undergraduate Awards for Continuing Students (refer to the “Undergraduate Awards for Continuing Students” section of this Calendar for details).
