Medical school is simpler, if anything! You do your pre-university DEC, then a prep year, and then right into the MD program.
My understanding is that the prep year is to complete the kind of courses that would be mandatory to apply to an MD program in say Ontario. I'm not sure every university even has one, McGill and UdeM do for sure, but USherbrooke doesn't seem to have information on that.
To be honest med school in the anglosphere baffles me. If the requirement is a 4 year degree in whatever, then the 4 year degree is irrelevant to your qualification... Some schools only require a handful of specific classes, doesn't it sting when all that matters in your entire degree is a few biology and chemistry courses?
