2025 Indigenous Student MD Preadmissions Workshop
July 23 - July 25

The 22nd annual Indigenous MD Admissions Workshop will take place on the unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation at the Southern Medical Program, located on the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus in Kelowna, BC.
If you are thinking about pursuing a future in medicine, this is a unique opportunity to learn how UBC can support you in your studies and connect with an inclusive, caring community of medical practitioners, students, and faculty.
Our annual pre-admissions workshop for Indigenous pre-med students isn’t just for those already in university. Prospective students, including post-secondary and high school students, can explore what it means to attend university and embark on a journey to becoming a health-care professional.
The application deadline is Monday, July 7, 2025.
Along with your application, you’ll need to prepare and submit:
- A 500-word autobiographical essay, including who you are and why you want to become a doctor.
- A copy of your most recent transcripts or report card.
- A copy of proof of ancestry, such as status, treaty and Métis membership cards. We also accept written letters of support from Band, Inuit and Métis organizations.
We encourage you to get your application in as soon as possible. If you have any questions about the workshop, please
reach out to us.
