Without the support from the provincial government, which has announced on Mar 15, a new med school at York is almost dead. Besides, a new med school will be established in Brampton by Toronto Metropolitan University in 2025.

I am told approval is in the works, and the school will be based off-campus in Vaughan adjacent to the new hospital. But we shall see. Clearly no deal is yet done.

Edit to add: (from the November 29th meeting of the York U Board of Governors)

According to the Toronto Star, some funding for the new medical school is expected in next week's provincial budget.


I have confirmed its in the budget for next week.

That is good news, and about 10 years overdue.

This will represent 3 new medical schools in the GTA which is about our limit to absorb in the near term.

This adds to UTSC's new offering
And TMU's in Brampton.

Province-wide, we still need, I would argue, a medical school in Waterloo; and, eventually, one in Barrie, but that has to wait for Barrie to get a proper university and to build up to that, so that one is still likely 2 decades away.
