Welcome!

On behalf of the entire Class of 2027 and the Queen’s Medicine administration, we would like to congratulate you on receiving an interview invitation to Queen’s Medicine! Time to celebrate — what a major accomplishment! The long nights in library study rooms, back and forth communication with your references, and hours spent stressing over OMSAS have paid off!

This website has been designed by the Class of 2027 to provide you with all the information you will need for your interview weekend. All of us remember our interview weekends well, whether it was online or in-person, and we know what helped make us feel more at ease before our interviews and what made us fall in love with Kingston/Lakeridge.

We know that this is yet another unusual and difficult year, to say the least. Previously, we would be able to meet you in-person, give you high fives after your MMI, provide you with a tour of our gorgeous medical building, and show you the best of what Kingston/Lakeridge has to offer. Although that cannot happen this year, we will try our hardest to recreate the Queen’s Medicine — or as we like to call it, QMed — experience for you through this website and the events that we will be hosting throughout the interview weekend.

We will continue to update this website with more information as your interview date approaches, including information regarding the events that occur during the interview weekend (outside of your interview time). Feel free to explore this website to find out more about the Queen’s Medicine program, the cities of Kingston and Oshawa, and our unparalleled student life. We recommend that you bookmark this page and visit it regularly to stay up-to-date. Any updates will be posted in the announcements section below.

If you have any questions regarding Queen’s Medicine, the interview weekend, or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us at qmedinterviews@gmail.com. We are here to help and are tremendously excited to meet each and every one of you! Even if we do not have the answers, we can put you in contact with the person who will be able to give you the information you need.

Queen's-Lakeridge Health MD/Family Medicine program applicants: please take a look at our official welcome letter here.

Good luck! We can’t wait to meet you!

Your friends and future colleagues in the Class of 2027 :)

Post-Panel Interview Opportunity: QMed Student Ambassador Program
Released Thursday, March 7, 2024 by Chris Ho

[Deadline: sign ups will be open until March 17th, 2024. Matches will then be sent out post-panel interviews. Link to the form below:]

Dear QMed Panel Interview invitees,

This year, we are piloting the QMed Student Ambassador Program, where you will be paired with first-year medical students at Queen's Medicine based on shared backgrounds (including but not limited to those identifying as Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, living with a disability, economically disadvantaged, and/or from a minoritized faith group). This will give you the opportunity to ask questions on topics such as life on campus and in Kingston, course schedules, small group learning, interest groups, and community resources! Note: Current students cannot comment on the admissions process to ensure fairness to all applicants. 

Note: Since this is a pilot year for the program, the project will be limited to Kingston panel interview invitees only for this year.

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and taking care of yourselves as you prepare for your interviews in February. Everyone here at QMed is rooting for you, and we are so excited to see you all during the webinar events we have planned following the MMI on Sunday, February 11.

A link to submit questions for our upper year panel has now been posted under the "Schedule" tab of the website in the event description. We will have two panels during the event - a Lakeridge Upper Year Q&A panel followed by a Kingston Upper Year Q&A panel. Brief bios about all of our panelists will also be posted in the coming weeks. Please feel free to submit any and all questions you have about QMed and life as a student before the panel - this can be done anonymously if you choose through the form. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions during the event itself through the chat function.

Best of luck, and see you soon!

- Chris and Amir, Class of 2027 Vice Presidents
