Supporting the School of Medicine

Before the physicians of tomorrow can begin their studies, before the research can get underway, before we can open the flagship Integrated Health Centre—the TMU School of Medicine facility needs to take shape in the former Bramalea Civic Centre. Given the imminent opening, the university’s primary need is financial support to ready the building for the first and subsequent cohorts of students. Leadership support will ensure the successful launch of this first new medical school in the GTA in over 100 years. Your gift will support the creation of an exceptional learning environment for the training of the next generation of physicians - the physicians who will go on to increase health-care capacity in the community, Ontario and beyond.

At TMU, we understand the life-changing power of post-secondary education, not just for the individuals who get the opportunity to make the most from it, but also for their families and communities. Scholarships and awards increase access and reward excellence. Training innovative, inclusive physicians starts at recruitment. Many qualified and talented university graduates will not consider applying to medical school because of financial barriers. Scholarships and awards open the doors to medical school for those who might not otherwise be able to attend. To meet one of its primary goals—improving access to medical education and providing training to a high proportion of students from underrepresented groups—the School of Medicine is working to build a robust awards program.
