Information for successful applicants
Successful Applicants
Successful applicants must meet all registration requirements. Detailed information will be provided with admission offers.
Successful applicants can expect to receive an offer of admission to the MD Program on May 12, 2026; this is the “First Round Offers of Admission” provincial agreed-upon date, as listed in the key dates section of the OMSAS Application Guide. (external link)
The formal offer letter will include instructions on how to accept the offer of admission (external link) through OMSAS by the applicable deadline. Accepted applicants will also be required to make a non-refundable tuition deposit of $1,000 by the specified deadline. Failure to meet these deadlines or any conditions of their offer of admission will result in the offer of admission being revoked.
Applicants who register/matriculate to the program will have their deposit applied towards tuition, but it is otherwise non-refundable should an applicant decline their offer or choose to withdraw. This also applies to applicants who submit a request for deferral of admission and choose to withdraw if their request is denied.
Applicants with in-progress studies during the admissions cycle who are still being considered for admission by the end of the academic year will be required to have any final official transcripts submitted to OMSAS by June 30th of the intended enrollment year.
Submitting an online transcript request by this date does not satisfy the deadline requirement.
Students admitted to the MD Program will be required to submit a Police Record Check and a Vulnerable Sector Check. This is a requirement for initial and continued registration at the TMU School of Medicine and we reserve the right to revoke admission offers and/or registration at any time as a result of reviewing information pertaining to criminal charges.
Should any criminal charges be laid against an applicant/student following submission of the Police Record Check, the applicant/student is required to disclose this information.
Successful applicants will receive additional information prior to registration and students are responsible for the cost of obtaining these checks.
Upon acceptance into the MD program, successful candidates will receive detailed information about immunization requirements. Acceptance of an offer of admission from the TMU School of Medicine implies acknowledgment and acceptance of these immunization and vaccination requirements.
As per the Policy on Immunization and Screening in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program, students are required to be fully immunized and demonstrate proof of immunity before they enter the clinical setting. This policy stipulates that the MD program adheres to the most recent immunization and screening policy approved by the Undergraduate Medical Education Committee of the Council of Ontario Faculties of Medicine (COFM). Additionally, students are required to meet the immunization and screening standards set by the School's affiliates, the Ontario Hospital Association Communicable Diseases Protocols (external link) , the recommendations outlined in the UE: COFM Blood Borne Virus Policy (April 2022) (external link) , and the (PDF file) COFM Immunization and Screening Policy 2022.

Each academic year, students must demonstrate ongoing compliance with vaccine and disease prevention standards. Specifically, Year 1 students are expected to submit all vaccination information prior to the start of Phase 1, excluding Influenza and other vaccines with specific seasonal requirements. Similarly, students must ensure their immunizations are up to date before entering Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical settings.
Failure to meet these requirements may result in temporary suspension from clinical activities or training until compliance is achieved. This process is essential to ensure that all MD program students maintain the necessary immunizations to safeguard their health and the well-being of patients and the community.
As a condition of acceptance, candidates are required to complete/provide evidence of valid in-person Canadian Basic Life Support (BLS) training/certification from a recognized provider (e.g. St. John Ambulance, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Red Cross) prior to enrolment. Either Basic Life Support or Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers will satisfy this requirement.
Additional information is provided to successful applicants prior to registration, and students are responsible for the cost of the course.
