Description

About Toronto Metropolitan:

At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada's leading comprehensive innovation university.

Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture.

Our current academic plan outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

About the School of Medicine
It's time to transform medical education.

Toronto Metropolitan University's School of Medicine is being designed to shift the paradigm of healthcare delivery and improve the well-being of individuals, families and communities.

With a community-driven, intentionally inclusive approach, the new school will train doctors whose cultural awareness and humility are as crucial as their medical skills.

Led by Dr. Teresa M.

Chan, a forward-thinking educational leader, TMU's School of Medicine will draw on the university's commitment to community, equity, and innovation to address rapidly changing healthcare needs.

The school will train a new generation of physicians who are ready to learn, to adapt, and ultimately to be agents of change.

Work across the School of Medicine will be supported by the Social Accountability office, ensuring a focus on Black community health, Indigenous community health, anti-racism, anti-ableism, disability inclusion and universal design, anti-homophobia and transphobia/creating a positive health environment for LGBTQ2SI+, and serving and working in partnership with historically under-represented and under-served communities as a positive space.

Brampton/Peel and its surrounding communities, are part of the Treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge that these lands are also the shared space of Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Ojibway/Chippewa and Métis peoples.

We honour the Indigenous peoples who cared for this land for thousands of years before us, and commit to valuing the Two Row Wampum.

This Living Treaty represents settlers and Indigenous peoples moving forward together, in parallel, respecting each other's ways of being, knowing and doing.
