In 2011, the new Mississauga Academy of Medicine (MAM), based at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) Campus and its affiliated clinical sites, opened. MAM has joined the University of Toronto’s three previously existing Academies in providing clinical, research and other elements of the undergraduate curriculum. Students are assigned to either the new Mississauga Campus or the St. George Campus at the time of medical school admission. At the St. George Campus students will be assigned to one of three Academy sites shortly after the admissions process is completed. The St. George Campus includes the Fitzgerald, Peters-Boyd and Wightman-Berris Academies. All Campus and Academy assignments will be for the entire 4 years of medical school. All students will have opportunities to participate in clinical learning opportunities across the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine’s affiliates. During the admissions interview weekends, detailed information regarding the medical school’s campus and Academy structure and method of assignment will be provided. Students’ preferences regarding campus and Academy assignments will be maximized.
The Academy Directors work closely together and coordinate the provision of core curriculum as determined by the University and clinical departments. The Academy Medical Education offices relate to the UME offices at MSB and to community-based hospitals and health-care clinics.
An Academy Director is the Dean's representative for Undergraduate Medical Education at each Academy. Academic accountability for the Undergraduate Medical Education programs remains with the Faculty through the Undergraduate Medical Education Curriculum Committee and the Vice Dean, Undergraduate Medical Education.
