Temerty Faculty of Medicine

What Temerty Faculty of Medicine does

The Temerty Faculty of Medicine is the medical school of the University of Toronto, established in 1843 and renamed in 2020 following a $10 million gift from the Temerty family. It is Canada's largest and oldest medical school, enrolling 7,000+ learners across the MD Program, MD-PhD Program, Postgraduate Medical Education (60+ residency programs), Physician Assistant Program, Medical Radiation Sciences, Rehabilitation Sciences (Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology), and Continuing Professional Development. The faculty supports 9,000+ faculty and staff, delivers over $500 million in annual research funding, and is consistently ranked #1 in Canada for medical research intensity. Clinical education is delivered through the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN), a partnership of 14 research-intensive teaching hospitals across the Greater Toronto Area, supplemented by community-embedded academies such as the Scarborough Academy of Medicine.

The faculty's revenue model is a multi-stream public-sector mix: provincial government funding through the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, tuition fees set annually by the University of Toronto (with separate domestic and international rates), competitive research grants from federal agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC), provincial ministries, and private foundations, plus philanthropic donations and alumni giving channelled through the University of Toronto's advancement office. Pricing is fixed by government oversight rather than market dynamics, and enrollment is centrally administered through the Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS) and the University's graduate admissions portal.

Strategically, the faculty differentiates through the scale of its TAHSN-affiliated hospital network, its oldest-in-Canada brand, and targeted equity, diversity, and inclusion programs including the Community of Support, Black Health Connect, and Indigenous health initiatives that have supported admission for hundreds of students from underrepresented backgrounds since 2016. The faculty does not offer public APIs, AI/ML products, or commercial software; its core "technology" is the integrated academic-clinical delivery model spanning undergraduate medical education, specialty residency training, and biomedical research across one of North America's largest biomedical clusters.
