QuARMS | Queen’s University Accelerated Route to Medical School

QuARMS Direct Entry Medicine Program in Canada

QuARMS is a unique accelerated medical program available to the elite High School students in Canada who qualify for the Chancellor’s Scholarship at Queen’s University. Following 2-years of rigorous study in an Arts, Computer Science, or pure science program, QuARMS students are accelerated into the Queen’s Medical School curriculum. The QuARMS program is available to only 10 of the top high school students in Canada, creating a completely new era for Canadian medical school admissions. MedApplications™ was founded by Queen’s University physicians and is the world leader in preparing high school students for this prestigious medical program.

The only direct entry medical program in Canada:

To be selected for the Queen’s University Medicine QuARMS program students must complete an application too, and be successfully nominated to the Chancellors scholarship by their high school. Typically 1 nomination is allocated per 200-300 students at any given Canadian high school. Once the Chancellors nomination has been awarded, students are then eligible to apply to the QuARMS admissions committee. Your MedApplications™ QuARMS medical specialist will work with you to establish a concrete timeline and ensure you meet all checkpoints. This initial challenge is one of the most important steps in being considered.

How can I be successful in getting to the QuARMS program?

We begin by creating a successful plan to secure a chancellor’s nomination and proceed by developing a competitive applicant profile. This includes a well-rounded approach to direct medical school acceptance. Candidates are evaluated for contributions to the community, student life, extra-curriculars, medical research, healthcare related activities and personal engagements. What is important to know about QuARMS is that there is no “cookie cutter” applicant. The applicant pool is very diverse and applicant must look inwards to identify their own greatest strengths and skillset. Once a QuARMS medical school interview is awarded, we shift our focus to preparing our students for the Multiple Mini Interview and QuARMS specific Medical School Interview and Queen’s University Medical School.

The comprehensive attention we provide to our high school students shows in our strong success rates with the QuARMS medical school admissions process. For candidates who maintain core eligibility criteria and proceed through our High School Coaching program we have successfully secured a direct medical school entry acceptance for the eligible pre-medical high school students we have worked with. Our success is rooted on the strong dedication and passion our students have towards medicine and the evidence-based approach our physicians take towards QuARMS.

The QuARMS Interview

The QuARMS interview is modeled after the traditional medical school interview at Queen’s Medical School.  A hybrid of the MMI (Multiple Mini Interview) and Panel style interviews. The QuARMS interview committee uses both styles of interviewing to get to know the full candidate. As a high school student, most students have yet to face an interview with stakes this high. Our medical coaches, Queen’s University graduates, will help you navigate the difficult MMI format and succeed through coaching sessions and mock interviews.
