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 2024 - 2025 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.

Supporting Applications, Supporting Interviews (SASI) provides Community of Support (COS) members applying to medical school (Canada, US, Caribbean) with a medical student mentor to guide them through their medical school application and provide feedback before it is submitted. The following assistance will be provided between June to September, depending on mentor availability:
  • Autobiographical sketch (ABS) advice and proofreading
  • Brief personal essays advice and proofreading
  • References and co-curricular activities advice
  • MCAT advice
Once you receive an interview from a medical school, SASI mentors from the respective medical school will be matched with you to help better prepare for the interview.
The Community of Support (COS) program exists as a collaborative initiative with the goal of increasing the number of students that are Indigenous, Black, Filipino, Latin American, economically disadvantaged, non-traditional (i.e. mature students) or who self-identify with having a disability in Temerty Medicine's academic programs (MD, PT, OT, MRS, PA, etc.) and in similar programs across Canada. If you are looking for support and community in the next steps of your academic career, this is the place for you! These programs are open to any college or university student (from any college or university) and to college and university graduates.
Interview invitations and declines are communicated by email from the Admissions Office in late January or early February. MD Interviews will be facilitated virtually. Interviews are structured in 30-minute durations by a 3-person panel consisting of a physician, a community member, and a current medical student.
