Episode Details

Ontario is investing $55.8 million to launch Canada’s first medical school dedicated solely to training family doctors, aiming to tackle a critical shortage that leaves nearly 6 million residents without access to primary care. Set to open in 2028, the York University school will initially train 80 undergrads and 102 postgrads, with plans to scale up, while also funding accreditation, curriculum, staff, and facilities. This move is part of a broader provincial strategy to boost medical education, prioritize Ontario residents in medical programs, and incentivize new doctors to commit to five years of family medicine practice in the province — all to build a stronger, more accessible healthcare system from the ground up.
