From what I understood, the issue is that many applicants meet the PhD requirements, but are not approved by the Med admission committee and therefore are not accepted into the MD/PhD program. Hope that this information is accurate and that there are 2 more spots available (or more if there is more funding? ) for applicants to the MD/PhD program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how it works, but if you are not accepted to the MD/PHD stream, can you still be considered for MD? Maybe you will find out your results then?

t0ny Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Your application gets rolled over automatically to the MDCM stream if not accepted into the MD/PhD program (based on reports from other students that went through the application) TheHopefulMD, Xin and Berti_Bertz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
