Military medical training program
Our commitment to military medical training
Schulich Medicine & Dentistry has supported the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for more than a century and continues to collaborate with the CAF and the Department of National Defence (DND) across a wide range of initiatives. Military medicine - including the care of patients injured in conflict or affected by traumatic stress, as well as the delivery of health care in austere and operational environments - is an integral part of the School's mission. This commitment is reflected in its education, research, and ongoing partnerships.
Members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who have been active for a minimum of 12 consecutive months prior to the application deadline are invited to apply through this pathway.
The CAF will fund supernumerary seats for applicants admitted through this pathway.
Applicants who wish to be considered through this pathway must complete and submit the OMSAS application by the application deadline.
Applicants being considered through this pathway must consent to verification of their application by the CAF, and be eligible and approved to receive funding of their medical school tuition by the CAF.
Applications are assessed holistically based on academic and non-academic* admission requirements.
Applicants may be considered for MCAT flexibility if they:
- attain a minimum score of 125 in each section of the MCAT that we consider, and
- meet the same GPA, course load, course level, and non-academic* admission requirements as applicants through the general stream.
Applying through this pathway does not guarantee the granting of MCAT flexibility, nor an offer of admission.
There are no fixed seats or quotas for this pathway.
*Applicants considered through this pathway are exempt from being "ordinarily resident in Ontario" as their medical school seat would be funded by the Department of National Defense.
Admission interviews are structured, standardized and conducted virtually by 3-person panels that may include physicians, community members, and medical students.
For applicants through this pathway, the School endeavors to assemble interview panels comprised of individuals with CAF affiliation.
