April 2, 2024: Queen’s Health Sciences (QHS) is adapting its MD Program admissions process to create a more inclusive entry point for all applicants, minimize systemic barriers to becoming a doctor, and increase student diversity. The new MD admissions process builds on the success of QHS’s Queen’s Accelerated Route to Medical School (QuARMS) pathway, which was remodeled in 2020 to support the recruitment of Black and Indigenous high school students on an accelerated track. QuARMS was designed to redress inequity in the MD program application system; the new MD admissions process aims to address equity issues on a broader scale. As such, the Fall 2024 intake for the QuARMS pathway will be the last cohort that the pathway will be accepting students. Please see the news release here.
