A combined three-year and four-year medical program with modified admission requirements.

More flexible admission requirements have made it possible to admit students to the first year of a program leading to the B.Med.Sc. degree at the end of two years and to the M.D. degree in four years, saving one to three years by means of earlier entry following high school. More advanced students may enter at the beginning of second year and complete a three-year M.D. program. Encouraging preliminary results have been obtained.
