Academic mandate
The TMU IHC is connected to the Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Medicine, a medical education school committed to improving the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities, with a focus on delivering primary care to those who need it most.
As a patient at the TMU IHC, a resident doctor may care for you. A staff family doctor who is affiliated with Toronto Metropolitan University supervises the resident doctors. There are two ways you may see a resident:
- If your regular doctor is an TMU IHC doctor, you may see a resident for urgent issues when your own doctor is not available.
- A resident doctor may be assigned to you as your regular family doctor. This resident doctor will be your primary care provider over the two years of their training.
Residents have completed medical school and have received their Medical Doctor (M.D.) degree. They are approved to practice medicine under an education license. They must complete two years of practical training at teaching sites like TMU IHC under the supervision of a clinic doctor to receive their full license. During their training, residents can do everything a clinic doctor can do, like ordering test and prescribing medications, under supervision.
