Minimum Admission Requirements

• Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the MD program, the School of Graduate Studies, and the MSc OMFS specialty (coursework-only option).
• Applicants must meet the same admission requirements as regular MD stream applicants except where noted below:
  • Academic:
    • The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores will be waived.
    • Minimum grade point average (GPA) requirement: CDP applicants must have a GPA of 3.3 on the 4.0 scale in the final year of their Doctor of Dental Surgery or an equivalent degree program at a recognized university.
  • Non-academic:
    • References: CDP applicants must arrange three MD references as part of their application. These references are separate from the two reference letters used for the MSc/OMFS specialty admissions consideration. One of three references must be provided by a dental faculty member.
    • Interviews: CDP applicants will participate in synchronous interviews with members of the OMFS admissions committee in October. CDP applicants will not be required to participate in the MD admissions interviews normally scheduled between February and April of an application cycle.

Academic Path to Completion

Every CDP involves a specific combination of approved degree programs. The CDP requirements build on those of the two separate degree programs. Each CDP has a unique pattern of academic activity year by year.
