University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine
One
of Canada’s most revered academic institutions, the Faculty of Medicine at the
University of Toronto offers undergraduate medical education (for an M.D.
degree) as well as post-M.D., Master's, Ph.D., and post-PhD fellowship programs.
Typically,
the M. D. program continues for a course of 4 years – the first two years,
students spend mostly on campus, attending biomedical and anatomy classes, and,
during their third and fourth year, they receive hands-on specialized training
in one or more of the university’s affiliated hospitals and clinics.
Notable
alumni and faculty members include the Nobel Prize winner Frederick Banting,
who co-discovered insulin, and the professor of molecular genetics John E.
Dick, who is credited with the identification of the cancer stem cell.

The

University’s Faculty of Medicine is one of the best med schools in the country.
At present, the institution houses about 4 500 students who take graduate and
undergraduate classes in General Medicine, Nursing, Physical & Occupational

located in Canada’s largest hospital-based research facility, which enlists
more than 600 researchers and clinicians, as well as nearly 1 700 graduate and

Just

in the field. More about the particular requirements that every applicant must
