Discover our unique 4-year MD program structured across Foundations, Clinical & Community Immersion, and Professionalization phases.

Our four-year MD curriculum is rooted in community-driven care and cultural respect and safety, with equity and our commitments to truth and reconciliation with Indigenous communities woven throughout. Through active, inquiry-based learning, we will help students to become a new kind of physician: one with the knowledge and tools to not only provide excellent, inclusive care, but to drive real change in the healthcare system.
Phase 1 builds a strong foundation for clinical learning. Students will acquire and apply knowledge, skills and abilities in the basic sciences and in clinical, social, and health systems science. Students will also deepen their understanding of anti-racism, equity and bias, as well as the systemic inequities driving health and healthcare disparities across all courses. Of particular note, within the Indigenous Communities and Health course, students will be encouraged to think through exploring how healthcare can be decolonized in efforts to achieve our commitments within the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.
Courses:
- Principles of Medicine
- Person-centred Care
- Clerkship
- Transition to Residency
- Health Systems Sciences*
- Community & Global Health*
- Indigenous Communities & Health*
- Personal & Professional Development*
*Course runs throughout all four years of the MD program.
During Phase 2, students will be immersed in hands-on clinical learning through a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship primarily based in Family Medicine. Students will also complete clinical learning rotations in specialty areas of medicine such as psychiatry, emergency care and elder care across a variety of settings.
As students prepare to enter residency, the final phase prepares them to succeed by strengthening their skills via electives, preparation for post-graduate studies and completion of a self-directed learning block.

Our campus
The TMU School of Medicine is housed in the former Bramalea Civic Centre at 150 Central Park Drive in Brampton, Ontario. The building is currently being transformed into a state-of-the-art medical school featuring functional, flexible and collaborative active learning classrooms, lab and study spaces that will support various modes of pedagogy. A three-storey interconnected atrium at the primary west entrance will welcome students, staff and visitors into a vibrant, inclusive and safe environment where they can interact and engage with one another.
The library will provide quiet individual and group study spaces, and additional learning opportunities outside the classroom. Case-based learning teaching labs, simulation and digital anatomy labs will further bolster TMU’s experiential learning approach for medical learners. This building project is the first at TMU to integrate the university’s Indigenous Design Guidelines – developed in consultation with Indigenous community members – in the design process.
The site was chosen for its proximity to both Brampton Civic Hospital and Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health & Wellness as well as its accessibility via municipal transportation, GO transit and highway systems. The site is also close to a variety of services and amenities to support the needs and well-being of our students.
