Admission Requirements
The University of Toronto’s MD Program selects candidates who demonstrate the potential to become Canada’s future health care leaders.
We are looking for students from diverse backgrounds. It doesn’t matter what subject you studied at university or the level of your degree studies, you are encouraged to apply. We treat all university programs equally in the evaluation process and there are no quotas or age limits. We are looking for candidates with strong backgrounds in social sciences, humanities, physical sciences and life sciences. You should also demonstrate excellence in non-academic areas, such as community involvement, reliability, responsibility, perseverance, creativity and leadership.
