Great to clarify it. A lot of people misunderstand it is a easy path or shortcut ...
Yes. Really want to clarify to avoid misunderstanding.
The canadian system is quite similar to the US system.
In fact, most professional programs like law, medicine (pharmacy, dentistry as well), architecture, etc are post grad programs.
There are 2 undergrad programs in ontario with a label "bachelor of medical science" or "bachelor of health science" that are very "famous" for their high admission threshold (96+% of ontario high school average). And even with these "elite programs", only around 40-50% of their graduates can eventually secure a place with one of the MD programs in Canada. Other similar undergrad programs (i.e. that have a label "medical science" or "health science") have very few students that can get into MD programs (we are talking about may be 5 graduates per program).
So it would be extremely misleading if a student got an offer from a "medical science" undergrad program, and go around telling people they are going to canada to study medicine.
It should also be noted that, not any single MD program in Canada has said that a "bachelor of medical science" undergrad program would have any advantage when applying for MD program. A lot of students merely went for a chemistry or biochemistry major, got very high GPA, MCAT (plus other non academics, e.g. sports, volunteer and work experience, interview etc) that got into an MD program.
I am sure applications to MD programs in the US can possibly be even more competitive.
Very different from the hong kong medical education system. May be that is why many people misinterpret the "status" of a "bachelor of medical science" degree.
