Travel Tips
Actually, contrary to the above answer, you don't need pre-med. There isn't really any "pre-med" in Canada. You have to go to university and you can study anything you want there... although it's recommended that you study sciences/biology. You can write the MCATs after two years of university and apply to universities that have Medical Schools. If your university marks are high enough, and your MCAT score is good enough, you can get into med school after only two years of university. However, most people end up taking all four years of their university program before being accepted into med school.

Since you posted this in the Toronto section, I'm assuming you're asking about the requirements in Canada. I have no idea what the US requirements are. Source(s): TMS
Other Travel Tips
Its best to choose what school you want to go to then go to their website and check on requirements for the programs
You need to go to Premed for 4 years undergrad. Then you need to go to graduate school for medicine (about 11 years total)
Regardless of where you study or obtain a MD, in order to practice in the US you must pass the US Medical Licensing Exam. All US medical students have to take these exams and all people educated and trained in other countries have to take the exam.
