Essential Drugs List for Canadian Medical Students

List curated by CPT specialists, internal medicine and pediatric specialists, regularly updated. This is modelled after the long-standing World Health Organization concept of an essential drugs list for poor countries, however our list has been modified to be relevant for Canadian practice. Most physicians will prescribe most frequently a core list of approximately 50-80 medications throughout their career. Our Essential Drugs List deliberately attempts to influence what that list should include.
