About the MD Curriculum
Phases
The School of Medicine's MD curriculum will be delivered in a phased approach.
- Phase 1 builds a strong foundation for clinical learning. Students will acquire and apply knowledge, skills and abilities in the basic sciences and in clinical, social and health systems sciences.
- Phase 2 will immerse students in hands-on clinical learning through a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship primarily based in Family Medicine. Students will also complete clinical learning rotations in specialty areas of medicine across a variety of settings.
- Phase 3 will prepare students to succeed in residency by strengthening their skills via electives, preparation for post-graduate studies and completion of a self-directed learning block at TMU or internationally.
Courses
- Community & Global Health: This course is structured as a large-group and experiential learning course. Through service- and community-focused learning with affiliated organizations, the course introduces concepts and skills and builds capacity in cultural openness and anti-discrimination. Students will explore the ways in which their own assumptions and cultural positionality influence the roles they play in a variety of community and global health contexts.
- Health Systems Sciences: Health systems science is the study of how care is delivered, how health professionals work together to deliver care and how the health system can improve health and health equity. Students will explore the importance of patient, family, community and population contexts within simple and complex healthcare systems and apply a framework for systems thinking that complements biomedical and clinical science.
- Indigenous Communities & Health: This course provides foundational knowledge of governance and healthcare within the context of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. Through Indigenous Communities & Health, students will learn about working with Indigenous communities; they will also understand how they can dismantle colonialism by interrupting its impacts on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Peoples through trauma-informed practices and collaborative care.
- Person-Centred Care: Students will learn and apply clinical skills through simulation and longitudinal experiential learning in clinical settings with supervisors from the local community. Using the principles of person-centredness, students will develop skills in history taking, physical exam and communication that are respectful, culturally appropriate and safe for diverse populations.
- Practice of Medicine: This course provides the foundational knowledge, resources and skills for student involvement in culturally safe and inclusive clinical care across the patient lifespan within the Brampton/Peel communities and beyond. The course focuses on the foundational sciences and addresses health determinants, socio-cultural awareness and critical systems through the human lifecycle via case-based learning.
- Professional & Personal Development: This course will focus on students' development as scholarly and ethical professionals, leaders and life-long learners. Through activities and discussion, students will develop their professional identities into future physicians who are ready to learn, adapt and innovate, and who have the professional and personal skills they need to succeed.
