The Ontario government is investing $55.8 million to help fund the province’s first medical school focused on training family doctors. The York School of Medicine, located at York University, is expected to open in 2028 with 80 undergraduate seats and 102 postgraduate seats, growing to 240 undergraduate seats and 293 postgraduate seats at full capacity. “This will be a school where physicians are trained for the health system Ontarians need,” said Lisa Philipps, interim president and vice-chancellor of York University. The investment will fund initial planning such as accreditation, curriculum development, faculty recruitment, establishing a medical library, training costs, and operating costs. The Ontario government is leading a large expansion of medical education that includes additional seats at all six medical schools across the province, as well as the establishment of the new Toronto Metropolitan University Medical School, which welcomed its inaugural cohort last fall in Brampton.
