³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Selected candidates will be invited to an interview session. Attendance is by invitation only, sent via email by the date published according to the applicant category. Candidates cannot be admitted without interviews. Interviews are an important tool for the MDCM ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Committee to evaluate those strengths and qualities that cannot be evaluated in a transcript or C.V.

Interviews are in multiple mini-interview (MMI) format. Consult the Undergraduate Medical ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Office to confirm if interviews are held in-person (Montreal) or online (live video format) for the current application cycle. All candidates in an applicant category will be interviewed using the same format, at the discretion of the MDCM ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Committee. Candidates are not permitted to request an alternate interview format. Requests for accommodations for documented disabilities are accepted for all interview types; instructions are provided with the invitation letter. These mini-interviews consist of multiple stations that can be task-oriented, simulation- or scenario-oriented, or discussion-oriented. Stations are designed to evaluate the various qualities, abilities, and skills aligned with the M.D.,C.M. Program Learning Objectives and relevant elements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada . Interviews are offered in both English and French.

Interview sessions are scheduled for a half-day. Applicants are expected to keep their calendar open for interview dates. It is the applicant's responsibility to be available for the scheduled interview and to plan travel accordingly. No repeat interview sessions or special accommodations are available to those who do not attend their originally scheduled time; therefore, if candidates are not present for their interview for any reason, the file will no longer be considered.
