Plans announced for Vaughan school of medicine
A new medical school in Vaughan is one step closer to reality, as York University recently announced its support for the plan.
The new school would focus on training community and family doctors. The announcement is the latest in a decade-long project to provide better health care in Vaughan, including the construction of the recently opened Cortelucci Vaughan Hospital, the first in the city.
The new school will be part of the Vaughan Health Care Centre Precinct, a collaboration between the city of Vaughan, York University, Mackenzie Health and VentureLAB, which aims to both improve health care in Vaughan and use the city’s resources and talent to export medical products to other areas. Medical education is both in demand and highly competitive, with schools using methods from brochure printing to social media outreach to attract qualified applicants.
The university’s press release explained the school’s past in the health field:
York University officially announced its plans for the new school on May 20, with further details to be developed in the months and years to come.
