The Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine is McMaster University's medical school, located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It is operated by the McMaster Faculty of Health Sciences. McMaster University's medical school accepts 203 students per year out of over 5200 applicants into the MD program. It is one of two medical programs (along with the University of Calgary) in Canada that operates on an accelerated 3-year MD program, instead of the traditional 4-year MD Program. Currently, McMaster ranks 25th in the world and 3rd in Canada for medicine according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015. In 2012, McMaster ranked 1st in Canada and 14th worldwide in medicine, according to the Times Higher Education Rankings 2012. The school received 5,271 applications for the Class of 2018 and had an acceptance rate of 3.8%. The average GPA of entering undergraduates in the Class of 2018 was 3.84 and the average MCAT Verbal score was 11.2, a score in the 95th percentile.〔https://www.aamc.org/students/download/361080/data/combined13.pdf.pdf〕 Unlike many other medical schools, McMaster University's medical school does not drop any courses or years in their GPA calculation, as well as only uses the MCAT Verbal score in the MCAT component of their admissions calculation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=McMaster University )〕 Students also have to write the CASPer admissions test, developed at McMaster in 2012. Founded in 1965, the school is acknowledged to be a world leader in innovative learning, testing systems as well as multinational trials and thrombosis research. Since its formation, the school invented the small-group, case-based learning curriculum. This educational model, colloquially known as the McMaster Model, is now known as problem-based learning. In the 1980s, McMaster developed and coined the term "evidence based medicine" as a way to approach clinical problem solving. McMaster also developed the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) system in 2001 for medical school admissions which has been adopted as part of the admissions system in professional schools around the world. In 2010, McMaster developed the CASPer test for medical school admissions, which has recently been adopted at several medical schools across North America. ==History== McMaster University had long been a target of proposals for a medical school. As early as 1892, Trinity Medical College in Toronto had sought affiliation with McMaster. In the 1930s, Dr. C.E. Cooper-Cole and Dr. Gordon Murray were invited to become the first professors of medicine and surgery at the university however the plans were later shelved. In 1956, Sir Francis R. Fraser, wrote the Fraser report and concluded that McMaster could feasibly host a medical school. At the same time, the Ontario government had expressed the opinion that Ontario would need an additional medical school by 1966. The main driving force behind the project was Harry Thode, at the time the vice president of the university and later the president. By 1965, the first dean of the new medical school John Robert Evans, was appointed. By 1966, the first five faculty members, John Robert Evans, William Walsh, Bill Spaulding, James Anderson and Fraser Mustard were recruited. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McMaster University Medical School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
