The virtual MPI (vMPI) consists of four independent interviews assessed by four different, independent interviewers. Interviewers are closely connected to U of T’s medical community. The 2026 interviews will be conducted virtually. Each interview is approximately 5 minutes in length. We allow 2 minutes to review and consider your responses. Although the vMPI completed in full will take about 32 minutes, you will have one hour to complete and submit the interview process. Students prepare in all sorts of ways in the weeks leading up to the interview. Applicants should familiarize themselves with our four clusters of attributes and CanMEDS Roles as a frame of reference during their preparation.
