Honors in Physiology is offered by the Department of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry through the Faculty of Science.

The Honors program is designed to prepare students for advanced study leading to careers in academia, industrial research, or for entry into health-related professions. A choice of courses is available for students with interests in particular branches of the life sciences (e.g., cell and molecular biology, endocrinology, cardiovascular physiology, and neurobiology).

Continuation and graduation in the Honors Physiology program requires successful completion of ★24 with a minimum 3.0 GPA, in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, second-year students must present a minimum grade of B in PHYSL 212  and PHYSL 214  in order to continue, whereas students who are eligible to enter the program in their third year and have credit in PHYSL 210  must present a minimum grade of A- in order to be admitted. Students must consult the Departmental Advisor prior to registration in each year of the program.
