  1. University of Toronto Medical School

  3. Michael de Groote School of Medicine (McMaster University Medicine)

If you are considering an application to a combined medical school degree, for e.g. MD/PhD, it is crucial you review each of the medical school programs individually. The following medical schools classically have an MD/PhD degree:

  1. University of Toronto Medical School
  2. University of Ottawa Medical School
  3. Michael de Groote School of Medicine (McMaster University Medicine)
  4. Schulich School of Medicine (Western University Medicine)

Most MD/PhD programs in Ontario are funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) grant. However, MD/PhD funding is highly variable, depending on the medical school, supervisor and area of study. Please review this well ahead of your MD/PhD application.

Medical School Choices in Ontario

The University of Ottawa integrates a Francophone medical school stream and reserves a section of the medical school class for French speaking medical students. Please select if this stream applies to you in your OMSAS application. Select the appropriate language stream, English or French. Ensure that this is filled out correctly to ensure that both medical school streams are applied too at the time you submit the OMSAS medical school application.
