schmitty Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 From the UT MEDs FAQ: 3) Does the University of Toronto accept transfer students (students who are currently undergraduate medical students in other medical schools or who have completed one or more years of undergraduate medicine in another medical school) ? No. Transfers are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edict Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 save yourself some time. None of the medical schools in canada accept transfers. You can apply to a select few Canadian medical schools but you start from the beginning and you apply as a normal applicant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why - there would be a gap in their program as a result and they would be graduating less than their mandate. I cannot say I have ever heard of anyone ever transferring at any school either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've seen transfers for compassionate/family reasons, but I don't know what current policies are across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviving an old thread - but I do know personally of a classmate this year who received a compassionate transfer from the U of A to a school out east. The grounds were to be closer to their significant other (spouse). I am in a similar situation and am currently looking at options. Wondering if anyone has heard of anything since this thread was started ~4 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indefatigable Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I looked into this earlier. UBC, Western, UofO and Mun? I think can consider incoming transfers from 4 year schools just after pre-clerkship but before clerkship (depending on a whole host of factors - space in the class, etc..).

I'm experiencing significant harassment by staff/admin at my current school and really need to get out of there. I don't know how to go about trying to get a transfer though. Like who would I even ask at U of T? I'd need to book an appointment with someone to meet somehow, and then get them to listen to me for long enough to consider my situation and not just deny me right away saying that no transfers are allowed. Anyone know of anyone who has transferred to U of T med after preclerkship? Just to UofT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridian Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I doubt U of T would want to get involved with a perceived harassment situation at your current school. You will need your current school involved if another school did agree to take you on at clerkship. You probably need to address the issues at your own school first and then see if the resulting discussions include transferring as a viable solution. I have seen a transfer at clerkship between schools, but it was the case of a terminally ill family member. Hope you find a path forward to be successful.
