Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) - One Health (ESM)

Medical Sciences is a "first-entry" program into the Faculty of Science at Western. High school students interested in studying the basic medical sciences (human biology) modules at an advanced level in the BMSc Program should select MEDICAL SCIENCES on the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC). Admission to Medical Sciences is not admission to the BMSc Program. Students are registered as Medical Sciences students in Years 1 and 2, and apply to the BMSc Program when they enter Year 3. Entry into the BMSc Program is competitive and limited but admission is assured for Medical Sciences 2 students who achieve a minimum average of 80%, with no mark less than 60%, in the Year 2 courses that are specific to the student's module of interest for Year 3 BMSc.

One Health is an integrated effort of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally and globally to attain optimal health for humans, animals and the environment.

The Honours Specialization in One Health, leading to a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree, was created in collaboration with Western University’s Departments of Sociology and Geography in the Faculty of Social Science to enrich the learning experience of students.

The module offers an innovative, interdisciplinary education and research experience for students, which focuses on the intricate link between animal health, environmental health, socioeconomic factors and human health.

NOTE: Please note the English scores listed are minimum requirements. Meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission. Students with low English scores may be admitted to the English BOOST Program, a 9 week training program for conditional admission to their chosen program.
