Medical Physiology Minor |

|
The Biology and Kinesiology Departments have complementary strengths in medical sciences. The Medical Physiology Minor is designed to assist students pursuing health professional schools, biomedical graduate programs, or health-related careers.
The Medical Physiology Minor is available to students in all Honours and General plans.
Successful completion of this minor requires:
- 5.0 units distributed as follows:
- 1.0 BIOL unit: BIOL 239 and BIOL 373
- 1.0 BIOL unit chosen from: BIOL 240, BIOL 341, BIOL 355, BIOL 376, BIOL 444, and BIOL 473
- 1.0 KIN unit: KIN 406 and KIN 408
- 1.0 KIN unit chosen from: KIN 301, KIN 310/HLTH 310, KIN 402, KIN 404, KIN 407, KIN 416, and KIN 429
- 0.5 PHIL unit: PHIL 226 or PHIL 319J
- 0.5 PSYCH unit chosen from: PSYCH 207, PSYCH 261, PSYCH 307, and PSYCH 335
- An overall average of 60%.
Additional conditions:
Normally, a maximum of 2.5 units (5.0 courses) obtained on a Letter of Permission Form or by transfer credit from another institution may be applied toward fulfilment of this minor. The department offering a required course must first deem the replacement course equivalent (this assessment includes relevant prerequisites).
Notes
- BIOL 130, BIOL 273, and PSYCH 101 are prerequisites for one or more of this minor’s required courses; therefore students must have taken them previously.
- Admission requirements vary greatly among professional schools. Students should consult schools directly when choosing courses to satisfy admissions requirements.
- Students interested in entering a health professional school should consider taking additional physical science courses (e.g., CHEM 120, CHEM 123, CHEM 266, CHEM 267, PHYS 111, PHYS 112), which may help them prepare for standardized admission examinations (e.g. MCAT, OAT, etc.).
