The MDconsultants network currently comprises more than 170 medical students, residents, and attending physicians who practice in various specialties across Canada and the United States. Our company is led by 3 physician partners who graduated from the University of Toronto and is supported professionally by a full-time managerial staff. MDconsultants started out in 2009 to provide high quality consulting services to enable aspiring healthcare professionals gain admission into programs of their choice. Since then, we’ve evolved into a predominantly physician network of talented consultants who solve diverse and challenging problems. Our current range of capabilities include admission consulting, healthcare consulting, providing professional second opinions, and delivering healthcare in a variety of settings.

As applications to medical school continue to open, some students remain locked into studying in Canada. There are options outside of Canada including the US, Australia and the UK which also have great medical schools to select from. All international medical graduates (outside of the US) are required to write the MCCEE to obtain a residency position in Canada to practice. This exam is difficult, however Canadian medical schools are becoming more competitive each year, creating a push for students to apply abroad.

If you have considered applying abroad for medical school, there are multiple decisions to make including which country to study, which university to attend and your plan to return to Canada (or remain in the country you select). To assist with your decision, we have some resource videos below outlining student’s experience at Flinders University in Southern Australia.
