Are there qualities that OMSAS looks for in the ABS?


Recommended Posts

OOP applicant and completely new to the OMSAS system. I know that medical schools in Canada as a whole look for CanMEDS qualities but is there a list or anything of qualities/attributes that OMSAS specifically likes to see? I've come across it a few times where people say that for UBC "the writing is less structured but that OMSAS definitely requires you to touch on their qualities" but haven't been able to find a corresponding post about it. Thanks!

OMSAS is a system for all Ontario medical schools, so they don't look for anything actually. They are just a system to process your application and distribute it to each Ontario school. The tricky part is to write/structure your application so it gives you the most benefit for as many schools as possible. Typically, the CANMEDs roles are still stressed (same as BC), but each school has a couple quirks which you can find on their admission websites.
