The MD Program is committed to the principles of equity and diversity and we recognize the importance of having a health care community that reflects the diversity of Canadian society.
The Community of Support program exists as a collaborative initiative with the goal of increasing the number of students that are Indigenous, Black, Filipino, Latin American, economically disadvantaged, non-traditional (ie mature students) or who self-identify with having a disability in Temerty Medicine’s MD program, and in medical school in general. Being a member of the Community of Support will provide you with access to the following opportunities:
Admissions information: one-on-one advising and access to admissions events
Access to mentors (medical students, physicians, peer support communities) and experiences (research, leadership and volunteer opportunities, enrichment courses)
Support at each stage of the application process – i) MCAT preparation, ii) CASPer preparation, iii) 1-1 support with the medical school application, and iv) school-specific interview preparation
COS also supports students that have interests in other health professional programs within Temertty Medicine including Medical Radiation Sciences, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, and Basic Sciences.
