All Faculty of Medicine students enrolled in the above graduate programs receive a minimum guaranteed stipend provided to them by their
supervisor or through an external scholarship equivalent to the minimum stipend. All students are expected to seek an external scholarship. The
Office of the Vice-Provost, Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, provides admission/excellence scholarships for MSc and PhD Canadian or
Permanent Resident students with a GPA of 8 or more, in addition to the minimum stipend provided by the thesis supervisor.
Students who have not secured external scholarships must be entirely supported by the stipend provided by their supervisor, usually through
research grants or partially through a Teaching Assistant (TA) position. If a student receives an award that is less than the minimum guaranteed
stipend (please see minimum stipend amounts below), the supervisor must supplement the scholarship with a stipend to bring the total amount
up to the guaranteed minimum.
It is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure that the appropriate stipend support is provided to all graduate students under his/her supervision.
In the case where a student is on medical leave, the stipend payments must continue for a maximum of four weeks. Should the supervisor
encounter financial difficulties due to lack of grants support, they must immediately inform the Program Director.
Guaranteed stipend must cover a minimum duration of 2 years for an MSc and a minimum of 4 years for a PhD. Students who enroll in the MSc
program and fast-track to the PhD program without writing a master’s thesis will be supported for five years. If the student’s progress has been
judged satisfactory in all previous progress reports, then support should be provided for the duration of the research and appropriate time for
writing the thesis; if not, any further support can be negotiated between the student and the supervisor and reported to the Program Director for
final approval. In the event of unsatisfactory progress in the research program, the student may be asked to withdraw from the program. In this
case, the supervisor has the right to terminate financial support.
