University of Calgary Calendar 2023-2024 Cumming School of Medicine 5. Doctor of Medicine
5. Doctor of Medicine

The Cumming School Medicine of the University of Calgary offers a three-year professional degree leading to a Doctor of Medicine (MD).

Following completion of the undergraduate medical program students must complete postgraduate medical training prior to starting independent practice. They need to obtain certification from the College of Family Physicians of Canada (a minimum of two additional years of training) or a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada program (a minimum of four additional years of training). The University of Calgary has more than 60 residency training programs.

Full details can be found on the Cumming School of Medicine Postgraduate Medical Education website: ucalgary.ca/pgme.

Leaders in Medicine Program (LIM)

The LIM joint degree program offers students the opportunity to pursue graduate studies (Master’s, PhD or MBA) in conjunction with the Medical Doctor Program (MD). The goal of this joint program is to train highly motivated students to become the future leaders of clinical and investigative medicine. The LIM Affiliate program is designed to allow students enrolled in medical school, who may have already completed a graduate degree or who were accepted into medical school without a graduate degree but have a strong interest in research, to participate in the program if interested in both the clinical and research part of medicine.
