The University or College Pre-Medical Student

The vast majority of potential medical student candidates have identified early on that a career in medicine is their number one goal. Our physicians help you achieve that goal. Through comprehensive strategic guidance, personalized medical coaching, application review, interview preparation and CASPer® simulations, we take the guesswork out of medical school. One of the major benefits of our program is targeted medical relationship. We pair you with a medical coach specific to your career goals. Interested in pursuing medicine at an Ivey League school in the United States? We can help. Interested in pursuing medicine at the University of Toronto? We know what it takes. By streamlining your medical school admissions process, we target the specific criteria you need to be successful.

The University or College Non-Science Student

The changing landscape of medical school requirements has opened the door for many university and college students who have not pursued a typical science degree, but have acquired the necessary pre-requisites. Now, students with music, language and English majors can successfully apply and gain acceptance to medical school. Our medical coaches specifically develop your candidate profile, medical school application and interview answers to reflect a well-balanced, creative and adaptable approach to medicine. MedApplications™ has had tremendous success shaping the future of pre-medical school preparation. Prior to medical school, we also offer refresher courses to bring you up to speed alongside your colleagues.

The Non-Traditional Medical School Applicant

Changing your career to pursue medicine has several unique challenges. For many non-traditional medical school applicants, there are many questions as to the best approach for pursuing a medical career. For many applicants understanding the options available, the competition and the best pathway for success are unknown. As practicing physicians, we assist non-traditional applicants in reinventing themselves, securing medical placements, adapting existing experiences and creating a competitive applicant profile. Our Non-Traditional Medical School specialists are here to help you succeed.

The High School Student

At MedApplications™ we firmly believe it is never too early to start thinking about becoming a doctor. Some of our most successful students have started as early as grade 9, ensuring that maximize any and all opportunities to be the best pre-medical candidate possible. With a growing trend towards pursuing medicine directly from high school (Direct Medical School Entry and Early Assurance Programs), our medical specialists are experts in supporting High School students pursue their dreams of medicine. We also assist in the challenging transition to pre-medical programs and are experts in the most coveted combined MD/BSc and early entry programs in Canada (QuARMS) and the United States.

The International Medical Graduate

Successfully matching to a Canadian or American residency program as an IMG (International Medical Graduate) has become increasingly more difficulty. In recent years, under 25% of IMGs have successfully matched in CaRMS® or ERAS® in any medical specialty. The introduction of the NAC Examination (National Assessment Collaboration Examination) added an additional layer of complexity to successfully matching. At MedApplications™ we take a target approach by pairing you with a medical coach from your specialty of interest. This provides you with an amazing medical coach who knows exactly what it takes to match to your desired medical specialty. Over 86% of our IMG candidates with core baseline criteria match to their first choice of specialty.
