How to Apply

OMSAS Application Service Fee: $220

The OMSAS application service fee for the 2025 admissions cycle is $220. This is a one-time fee to applicants each admissions cycle. If the application service fee has already been paid during registration for the 2025 OMSAS admissions cycle, applicants are not required to pay this fee again to apply to our program. The fee only applies to applicants who haven’t already registered and paid this fee for the current application cycle.

TMU Application Fee: $125

Applicants are required to pay a university fee for each medical school to which they apply. The fee to apply to the TMU School of Medicine is $125.

All fees are accepted via the OMSAS portal and are non-refundable. Applicants who do not pay the required fees before the application deadline will not have their application forwarded to TMU by OMSAS.

Applicants are required to submit official transcripts for each university, college, CEGEP, junior college, graduate school or other postsecondary or professional institution attended.

A list of transcript request fees for all Ontario universities and colleges is available on the OUAC website. (external link) 

The Ontario Medical School Application Fee Waiver Program (external link)  was developed to support medical school applicants facing financial barriers to applying to medical school. The program subsidizes the OMSAS application service fee and application costs for up to three (3) Ontario medical schools for qualifying applicants. This program was collaboratively developed by the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada, the Council of Ontario Faculties of Medicine, OUAC and Price of a Dream.

Details around eligibility criteria and how to apply to be considered for the fee waiver program are available on the program website (external link) .

Due to TMU School of Medicine’s off-cycle timelines, our participation in the 2025 Ontario Medical School Application Fee Waiver Program will be unique for this inaugural year only. Applicants who were already granted a fee waiver for the current application cycle will automatically have their waiver applied to their application to the TMU School of Medicine MD Program should they choose to apply.

Applicants to the TMU School of Medicine’s MD Program must complete the Applicant Declaration established by OUAC as part of their application via OMSAS. In doing so, applicants certify that the personal information and documents submitted, or to be submitted, in their application are true, complete and correct, including declarations of citizenship and immigration status in Canada. Applicants must certify that any applicable autobiographical and personal submissions are true, accurate and authored solely and entirely by them. They also certify that all information requested in their application has been disclosed.

Applicants must also declare that they understand that it is their responsibility to keep OUAC and the Ontario medical schools where they apply informed of any changes to the information in their application and agree to update their application immediately after any such change occurs.

The TMU School of Medicine reserves the right to verify any information provided in the application. If an applicant withholds information or submits any information/documentation that is determined to be false/misleading (including misrepresentation of identity for pathway eligibility purposes), or written by a third party or generative AI technology, we may, at our absolute discretion, invalidate the application, resulting in its immediate rejection, or in the revocation of an offer of admission or registration. The TMU Academic Integrity Policy includes misconduct relating to falsified documents in the admissions process and applies to applicants and enrolled students. Additional information regarding Academic Integrity Procedures pertaining to the submission of falsified information/documents is available here: TMU Academic Integrity Procedures.

The Policy on Applications for Advanced Standing/Transfer to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program applies to applicants who are considering transfer into the MD program from another school or college of medicine program.

As outlined in the policy, the UGME Program Council and UGME Admissions Council will not accept any application for advanced standing/ transfer to the TMU MD program regardless of the applicant’s present or past medical school enrollment, for the following reasons:

• The four-year curriculum in the TMU MD program is arranged in three phases across four years and integrated throughout. Within each of the three phases, students undertake a series of courses, four of which run longitudinally across the years to support, develop and enhance their understanding and application of content through their learning journey. The four-year program must be completed in its entirety in order for students to achieve its learning outcomes.
  
• Several threads are woven throughout the curriculum; these threads also shape the formation of cases, learning experiences and projects. The outcomes-based approaches to assessment using the framework known as competency-based medical education require that for each course in a given year, all learning and assessments must be successfully completed for students to progress to the next year level in that course.

There is no exception to or appeal of this policy.
