The QMed MCAT Support Program is a free MCAT summer course for students demonstrating financial need, who otherwise may not have access to such preparatory courses. Our mission is to help eliminate barriers and increase equal opportunity in applying to medical school by creating a not-for-profit MCAT preparatory course, led and taught by current medical students at Queen’s University.
This year, we will be hosting a “Meet the Tutors” event, where prospective students can come to ask questions about the Summer 2019 program, Queen’s medicine or the path to medicine in general. The event will be held on Feb 25th at 5pm, Rm 021 School of Medicine Building.
