Decisions on applications to the Vision Program are made by a committee, led by the the Social Accountability Office in the Faculty of Medicine. The Admissions Office does not take part in the decision process. Applications received will be redacted, removing any identifying information, prior to being advanced to the committee.

Eligible expenses for reimbursement must be incurred after applicants are deemed to have qualified; retroactive reimbursement is not permitted.

Incomplete applications are not considered; all required documents must be submitted to proceed to committee review.

Applying to the Vision Program is a complete and separate process than applying to the Doctor of Medicine Degree; the two applications are  independent. Applicants to the Vision Program must also submit the medical school application for the cycle in which they wish to apply. Applicants who receive financial assistance via the Vision Program and then apply to the Doctor of Medicine Degree will be identified to our Interview and Admissions Committees as part of the holistic review process.
