A master's degree in Medicine & Health Sciences is a graduate route for applicants who want advanced study after a first degree. It suits people aiming for further specialist study, research-focused training, or professional development at master's level.

All three options are at public universities, so the main differences for a decision are the institution and location rather than ownership. Brock University is in a smaller-city setting, Queen's University is in Kingston, and the University of Toronto, Scarborough is in Toronto; published fees are not provided for these programmes, so applicants should confirm costs with each university.

Also confirm whether the programme is coursework-based or research-based, and whether there are additional checks for international applicants.
