Future Learners
In our Doctor of Medicine (MD) undergraduate program, our learners come from all over Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and other parts of Canada. The total class size is 110 annually. All students, except the 20 Learners from the PEI Charlottetown campus, are in St. John's. Eighty-four of the 90 seats at the St. John's campus are reserved for residents of the province, which includes 3 seats reserved for Indigenous applicants. There are 6 seats for applicants who are not residents of either Newfoundland and Labrador or Prince Edward Island.
Our postgraduate medical education provides training to over 280 residents within 11 clinical disciplines as well as sub-specialties and specializations within certain disciplines.
Memorial’s MD and postgraduate curricula have been adapted to be more focused on generalism and provides a number of rurally-oriented family medicine and other specialty training experiences. Creating positive learning experiences for undergraduate and postgraduate learners and appropriately matching them to communities that will help foster their development and integration are the goal of these changes.
We also have a growing graduate population, with more than 300 students registered in diploma, masters and doctoral programs in cancer, cardiovascular, clinical epidemiology, community health, human genetics, immunology, neurosciences, health ethics, public and applied health.
