- Island Medical Program (IMP)
- Northern Medical Program (NMP)
- Vancouver Fraser Medical Program (VFMP)

With a strong focus on innovation, technology and patient-centered care, the MD program equips graduates with the knowledge, training and experience they need to meet the health care challenges of today and tomorrow.
