Join us in building a healthier Ontario by supporting innovative medical education

Leading the Change in Primary Care

To address Ontario's primary care crisis, where millions lack family doctors, the TMU School of Medicine is training physicians to meet evolving healthcare needs. Through innovative education, graduates will develop solutions for our strained healthcare system.

How donations make a difference

The Moez & Marissa Kassam Excellence through Equity Scholarships, the first comprehensive scholarship program at the TMU School of Medicine, were created as part of Moez and Marissa Kassam’s landmark $5 million investment in the School of Medicine. These scholarships will cover full tuition for students demonstrating academic excellence and from communities underrepresented in the medical profession, empowering them to focus on their studies and future careers.

Through the Moez & Marissa Kassam Equity Fund, the Kassam family’s transformative contribution takes a strategic investment approach to addressing the urgent need for skilled healthcare professionals in the Peel region and reinforces TMU School of Medicine’s mission to transform health-care delivery in Ontario.

Key Initiatives

The TMU School of Medicine is defined by two ambitious and interconnected initiatives: the development of a state-of-the-art facility and the establishment of a robust scholarship and awards program. These allied priorities will not only provide a physicial home for the school but will also ensure that the most promising and diverse students have the opportunity to pursue a medical education, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Building the Future

To prepare the former Bramalea Civic Centre for the TMU School of Medicine and its students—the first new GTA medical school in over 100 years—financial support is needed. This will ensure exceptional training for future physicians and increase healthcare capacity.

Investing in Talent

TMU understands the life-changing impact of post-secondary education on individuals and their communities. A robust awards program is essential to recruit excellent, inclusive physicians. Scholarships increase access, reward achievement, and remove the financial obstacles that often prevent talented graduates from aplying to medical school.
