Faculty of Health Sciences

Our Health Sciences programs provide the course work, experiential learning, and hands on opportunities to help you prepare for the application process. You will have a competitive advantage for the interview and testing that is required when pursuing careers such as: 

• Chiropractor
• Dentist
• Occupational Therapist
• Physiotherapist 
• Medical practitioner

Your first step—check out our undergraduate programs and specializations. Some that may be of particular interest are:

• Health Sciences
  • Human Health Science

• Kinesiology

• Medical Laboratory Science

Depending on the pathway you are interested in, it is important to research your undergraduate program of choice, as within each program at Ontario Tech you will find electives and required courses that will assist in preparing you for your future. The course work and core curriculum of our Health Sciences programs are specifically designed to meet the needs of students such as yourself, who are wishing to pursue med school and professional programs.

Applying to med school and professional programs requires preparation, often starting from your first year of undergraduate studies. We want to make sure you are prepared by helping you satisfy the prerequisites for the majority of med schools and professional programs in Ontario.

Your second step—research and familiarize yourself with the application process:

The Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS) application provides one application for the six Ontario Medical Schools and is typically available in the summer for the subsequent year. You are encouraged to apply early fall of the year before you wish to attend, and it is important to review and familiarize yourself with important dates and deadlines.
