An initiative of
The TMU School of Medicine’s Family Medicine residency program strongly emphasizes addressing primary care and community needs. This focus is integral to its design, aiming to equip residents with the skills necessary to serve as comprehensive family physicians. A strength of the program is its focus on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, Anti-Racism & Reconciliation, Decolonization, and Indigenous Resurgence (EDIAA-RDIR). The Family Medicine residency program strongly commits to inclusivity and focuses on providing educational experiences rooted in culturally humble and sensitive competencies. Family Medicine residents will be paired with mentors based on their career and personal interests.
The TMU School of Medicine currently has clinical partnerships with multiple major training sites:
Residency training will leverage a distributed model which may include training at any of these sites for learning in environments, which include community and clinical settings, urban and rural environments, and inpatient and outpatient settings. While the majority of resident training will be focused in Peel and surrounding communities, additional learning experiences may take place at other training sites within Canada through Inter-University Affiliation Agreements. These agreements are subject to change and result in training at sites other than those that are listed above.
Travel to various locations will be required. Access to a personal vehicle will be beneficial, though anyone with access to a reliable means of transportation is encouraged to consider this program.
