What are the Top Medical schools in Canada
University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine
One of Canada’s most revered academic institutions, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto offers undergraduate medical education (for an M.D. degree) as well as post-M.D., Master's, Ph.D., and post-PhD fellowship programs.
Typically, the M. D. program continues for a course of 4 years – the first two years, students spend mostly on campus, attending biomedical and anatomy classes, and, during their third and fourth year, they receive hands-on specialized training in one or more of the university’s affiliated hospitals and clinics.
Notable alumni and faculty members include the Nobel Prize winner Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin, and the professor of molecular genetics John E. Dick, who is credited with the identification of the cancer stem cell.

McGill University Faculty of Medicine
The first faculty of the oldest higher education institution in Canada, McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine is one of the best med schools in the country. At present, the institution houses about 4 500 students who take graduate and undergraduate classes in General Medicine, Nursing, Physical & Occupational Therapy, and Communication Sciences and Disorders (the latter applies for graduates-only programs).
At one of the Faculty’s affiliated hospitals, McGill University Health Center, is located in Canada’s largest hospital-based research facility, which enlists more than 600 researchers and clinicians, as well as nearly 1 700 graduate and postdoctoral students.
Just like with the other two medical schools already mentioned, admission to the Faculty is no small feat and requires much preparation and extensive knowledge in the field. More about the particular requirements that every applicant must meet, you can find on the following address:
