Ontario Building New Medical School at York University Focused on Primary Care Doctors

We are proud to provide York University with $9 million through the 2024 budget, Building a Better Ontario, to begin the design and planning for a new medical school at their Vaughan campus. This new medical school will be the first in Canada to focus on training family doctors that will work towards ensuring Ontarian’s have access to the connected and convenient care they deserve.

The government is rolling out the largest expansion of medical education in over 10 years as it continues to build a stronger, more resilient health care system, especially in growing and underserved communities. The expansion includes all six medical schools currently across the province, as well as the new medical school at Toronto Metropolitan University when it becomes operational in 2025, adding 260 undergraduate seats and 449 postgraduate positions over the next five years. These seats are in addition to the new seats planned for York University’s new medical school.
