McGill University's faculty of medicine has launched a "non-traditional pathways" program designed as a means of increasing the diversity of medical classes and to address the shortage of general practitioners. For the program's first year, which begins in the fall of 2011, up to 3 seats in the Quebec University category have been reserved for candidates who hold a bachelor degree and who have interrupted their academic studies for 3 or more years. McGill's medical school is open to adjusting the number of seats of the coming years as the program evolves. McGill News Release
