Our commitment to military medical training

The Military Medical Training Program (MMTP) is for applicants who have been active members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for a minimum of 12 consecutive months prior to the application deadline. The CAF will fund supernumerary seats for applicants admitted through the MMTP.

To be eligible for consideration through the MMTP pathway, an applicant must:

  • be an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces for a minimum of 12 consecutive months prior to the application deadline,
  • consent to have verification of their application with the Canadian Armed Forces, and
  • be eligible and approved to receive funding of their medical school tuition by the Canadian Armed Forces.
Applicants who are not approved for funding by the Canadian Armed Forces will be considered within the general application process and must meet all general admissions requirements.

Applicants who wish to be considered through this pathway must indicate within the OMSAS application their desire to be considered through the MMTP and submit the OMSAS application by the application deadline.

Applications are assessed holistically based on academic and non-academic admission requirements.  

MCAT flexibility

Applicants through the MMTP 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 the MMTP does not guarantee the granting of MCAT flexibility nor an offer of admission.

Interview

Schulich Medicine interviews are structured and standardized, and are conducted by 3-person panels consisting of physicians, community members, and/or current medical students. 

For applicants through the MMTP, the School endeavors to assemble interview panels comprised of individuals with CAF affiliation.
