Premier Doug Ford and several of his cabinet colleagues were in Vaughan April 3 to celebrate the beginning of design and planning for York University’s new medical school in Vaughan. In last week’s budget, the province provided $9 million to begin the design and planning for York University’s new medical school in Vaughan. The school will be the first in Canada focused on training primary-care doctors and will help fulfil Ontario’s commitment to ensure that everyone who wants to have a primary-care provider can access one.
The new medical school will include up to 80 undergraduate seats and up to 102 postgraduate seats starting in September 2028, with up to 240 undergraduate seats and 293 postgraduate seats on an annual basis, once operating at full capacity.
