Clinical Rotations in Canada

MUA has been working with Canadian students for many years securing clinical rotations all across Canada. These rotations take place primarily during the elective phase of their education. The process and timing in some ways mirrors that in the U.S., but there are nuances, and MUA works closely with its Canadian students to ensure that each is aware of the process and is able to target rotations appropriate to his or her line of study.

• Documentation: MUA’s familiarity with the documentation process at the various Canadian university-affiliated programs ensures an efficient path toward garnering electives of choice.
• Historical Data: MUA students are aware of both the programs and the rotations in which previous Canadian students have participated.
• Guidance: While electives are chosen by the students, an MUA clinical advisor will actively counsel students about appropriate selections.
• U.S. and Canadian Options: Canadian students have the option to pursue electives in the U.S. or Canada—or both.
• Reputation: MUA and its students have a strong reputation throughout the Canadian affiliate system, which assists in securing rotations.
