Waterloo expands opportunities for aspiring medical and veterinary students

Many science students begin their undergraduate degrees already thinking about what comes next. For some, it is progressing in a research career or jumping into the job market, but for others, it has always been the dream of becoming a doctor or a veterinarian. With each course and elective, they meticulously plan their undergraduate studies guided by their passion and purpose for studying medicine. For these aspiring medical or veterinary practitioners, every step is building toward a successful application that will lead to an interview. 

To further support students with aspirations of attending medical or veterinary school, the Faculty of Science at the University of Waterloo is excited to announce it has signed agreements that will diversify the educational pathways available for students. Thanks to these agreements, there are now five international options for students interested in continuing their educational journey in medical or veterinary school.
