Admissions
As the only medical school in Saskatchewan, the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan has a responsibility to serve the residents of the province. As such, 90% of first year positions are reserved for Saskatchewan residents (8 positions open to Out-of-Province residents).
To increase the number of Aboriginal physicians, 10% of first year positions (9/84) are available for qualified, self-identified First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students through our Aboriginal Equity Program (Note: these seats are included in the 90% allocated Saskatchewan positions).
The purpose of our admissions process is to select candidates with excellent cognitive and non-cognitive abilities, since such individuals will thrive in our learning environment. Through successfully completing our undergraduate medical program, our students become adept problem solvers, committed life-long learners, and well-rounded physicians in whatever field of medical practise they ultimately chose.
