Great pleasure to meet Dr Teresa Chan, the inaugural Dean of the new School of Medicine at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) which will take its first medical students in 2025. We had the honour of working on the successful application for TMU to become a new kind of primary care led medical school in Ontario, based in Brampton which is one of the most diverse - and fastest growing - communities in Canada. The medical school will be highly innovative and this is well explained in an article that appeared in The Globe and Mail, one of leading newspapers in Canada, just this week https://lnkd.in/ewPdgheW The article explains that “TMU will aim to create a network of academically oriented, integrated health centres. Essentially, these will be community-based environments where students will be trained in interprofessional care and practice, and where they’ll be exposed to a diverse patient population and to novel ways of providing care while also supporting research and innovation.” For those interested in a new type of medical school, innovative primary care , community based mobilisation and a new kind of health system leadership, it’s well worth a read. #medicalschool #primarycare #innovation #primarycarenetworks #universities #communitycare #researchanddevelopment #toronto #interdisciplinary #education #health

Fifty years ago, McMaster redefined medical education and became a model for schools as well renowned as Harvard. I sincerely hope that Toronto Metropolitan Universities med school will be equally innovative and show the world that Canada is still a leader in medical education. And I also jope that in ten years, I can pass my practice on to a new generation of family and emergency physicians shaped by this new model of interdisciplinary care.
