Premed program
The King's competitive premed program is designed to introduce students to the general practice of medicine and is suitable for all students who are interested in medicine.

Premed students take three science courses from the anatomy, bio-molecular sciences, pharmacology and physiology departments at King's. Students participate in a Practice of Medicine Seminar, which allows students to follow a local general practitioner. The program also includes small group seminars and tutorials that integrate the study of clinical practice, communication in health care, medical ethics and law, psychology and medical sociology.

The clinical attachment portion of the program enables students to apply class theory to a number of primary and secondary care settings, including the emergency room, nursing homes, alcohol recovery programs, family medicine, surgery and more.
