ABOUT ME

My name is Dr. Michael Kawaja and I’ve been a faculty member in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Queen’s University since 1993. Over these many years I have successfully coached numerous undergraduate and graduate students in their quest to obtain admission into Canadian, American and international medical, dental, and law schools.

My primary objective is to best prepare you for success in your goal to gain admission to a Canadian or International Medical or Dental School by providing you with my advice and years of expertise.
I’ll help you highlight your application strengths, work to address any deficiencies in your narrative, coach you through the interview process, and provide you with mock interviews and sample interview questions.
