At the request of the Department of National Defence, the Queen’s University MD Program program has completed arrangements with the Department of National Defence (DND) to create additional training positions in the Queen’s MD Program that are above and beyond our provincially funded seats at our Kingston Campus. Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) staff who are supported by the DND through the Military Medical Training Program (MMTP) would be eligible to apply for these positions and offers of admission will be made to those who qualify.
MMTP positions are funded by the Department of National Defence and are therefore exempt from the 95% Ontario residency admission requirement effective July 1, 2025. More information can be found on our Eligibility & Application Process Page.
If you are currently a civilian, you are not eligible for subsidization under the MMTP, however, if you apply to the CAF, screen successfully, and are selected for enrolment, you may be subsidized under the Medical Officer Training Plan (MOTP). This is a separate process between the individual and the CAF. The MOTP is outside of your MD application and is not carried out through Queen's in any manner, therefore it is not a selection option within OMSAS. For further information on the MOTP, please e-mail CFHSAttractionCell-CelluledattractionSSFC@forces.gc.ca.
To be eligible for subsidization under the MMTP, you must already be a Regular Force (full-time) member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), be fully qualified in your current occupation and have worked for 1 year in that occupation before the MMTP Competition closes.
Regular Force military candidates interested in the Military Medical Training Program (MMTP) can obtain more information by consulting the Officer Specialist Training intranet website.
Military candidates who apply through the MMTP must meet all application eligibility requirements, including the necessary requirements as outlined by the military. These candidates must follow the same application procedures as all other applicants. The application fees will apply, and the candidates must follow the same method of payment as all other applicants.
If you apply to the MMTP stream, then you are not eligible to apply to the:
- MD/PhD, MD/Master’s combined program or the
- Queen’s-Lakeridge Health MD Family Medicine program.
All military candidates wishing to apply to medical schools under MMTP sponsorship must inform the Director General Military Careers DMCPG 5-2 by email at the same time of their application to the medical schools.
