NEW YORK (PRWEB) October 15, 2020
The University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS), a small, mission-driven medical school with a commitment to student support and a legacy of successful residency placements in the United States and Canada, today announced that it has signed an articulation agreement with Trent University, creating a pathway for the Canadian university’s undergraduates to earn their medical degree from UMHS. Under this agreement, students from Trent University will be fast-tracked for admission to UMHS after meeting established standards set forth in the articulation agreement. The requirements are outlined on the UMHS website.
“Getting into a medical school close to home is becoming increasingly competitive for Canadian students, even as demand for qualified physicians is growing,” said Dr. Holger Hintelmann, Dean of Arts and Science at Trent University. “We’re proud to partner with an international medical school that will offer our students a clearer path to realizing their dreams. Like Trent, UMHS takes a personalized approach to education and has recorded an impressive 100% pass rate on the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE Part I) for the last four years - setting up our students for a successful future in medicine.”
Dedicated to training the next generation of world-class physicians, UMHS provides a personalized medical education for each student. With small class sizes and an 8:1 student to faculty ratio, students have access to UMHS’s state-of-the-art facilities and unparalleled support.
“We’re pleased to partner with Trent University, a school with a like-minded approach to higher education,” said Warren Ross, president of UMHS. “Trent University is focused on personal, purposeful, and transformative education, and Trent graduates entering our program will build upon that foundation to become well-educated, adaptable, and compassionate doctors. We’re excited to welcome qualified Trent graduates to the UMHS family.”
UMHS has articulation agreements with several undergraduate institutions in the U.S. and Canada. These agreements enable a prospective student from a partnering university to automatically qualify for admission to UMHS after meeting the minimum standards defined by the articulation agreement.
