Hi, In Canada, medical degrees are only available at graduate level. Before you can apply to medical school, you need to complete at least two years (usually four) of 'pre-med' undergraduate study. Some Canadian colleges offer fast-track medical degree programs that take three years, rather than four. The requirements for this are set by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). All students preparing for medical school are required to take courses in biology, chemistry, physics and English. Individual medical schools may also have additional requirements, which you can find in the most recent version of the AAMC's Medical Scho

Most medical schools in the US also require students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), and most can be applied to through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). Once you've secured a place at medical school, you'll study for a further four years to gain either a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) or Doctor of Medicine (D.M.). Both of these titles qualify you to start practising medicine. However, you'll then be required to complete a residency training program, which could last anywhere between three and eight years depending on your field of specialization. It's likely that even after this, you'll continue to pursue further training in your field, through training programs known as fellowships. Hope this helps. All the best.
