We encourage applications regardless of whether the applicants are unilingual or bilingual. We have had numerous residents who have learned either French or English while completing their training.
We do not require applicants to have prior research experience. Research can be a way to demonstrate interest in Neurology/neuroscience, motivation/work ethic, critical thinking, and the ability to work in teams. However, all of these can be demonstrated in other ways. Applicants should NOT feel reluctant to apply because they have no research experience.
We do not require a minimum number of Neurology electives. In the past the vast majority of applicants have completed Neurology electives. Applicants who were invited for interviews in 2019 had completed (or were scheduled to complete) on average 9 weeks of Neurology electives. Our program supports the new policy whereby Canadian medical students can complete a maximum of 8 weeks of electives in one discipline. We will consider applications from applicants who have not completed any electives in Neurology, provided that they can justify their interest in the specialty and in our program. We recognize that students may only become interested in a specialty late in medical school.
We do not require applicants to complete a Neurology elective at McGill. We recognize that applicants are not able to complete electives at every program. We do make every effort to grant interviews to applicants who have completed an elective at McGill, but we also interview candidates who have never completed an elective at McGill. In the past we have highly ranked strong applicants who have not done an elective at McGill.
We give no preference to province or country of origin and strongly encourage applications from outside of Quebec. We do make every effort to grant interviews to applicants from McGill medical school, but we also interview candidates from across Canada and from other countries.
