TMU Community invited to attend School of Medicine town hall consultations

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is committed to leading an open and consultative process in planning for a new School of Medicine in Brampton, set to open its doors in fall 2025.

As part of this commitment, the Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, the University Planning Office, and the School of Medicine leadership team will be hosting a series of  town hall consultations, to give members of the university community the opportunity to discuss its development in a public forum.

All town halls will be held virtually and registration to attend (external link)  is required. These town halls are for TMU community members only and as such require a @torontomu.ca email address to register:
