Undergraduate MD program
Undergraduate MD program
The undergraduate MD program at Sinai Health, under the Wightman-Berris Academy, offers comprehensive medical education to approximately 93 students annually. Our students have access to multiple clinical sites within the Sinai Health family of hospitals, including Mount Sinai and Hennick Bridgepoint as well as other renowned institutions like The Hospital for Sick Children and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
In year one and two, students take part in the pre-clerkship curriculum, known as Foundations. This program emphasizes competency-based learning in physiology, clinical principles and humanities.
Led by Sinai Health clinicians and professionals, students engage in case-based learning, clinical skills development, health services research and community health understanding. They also participate in reflective activities and receive personalized academic coaching.
Students in year three and four participate in clerkships in which they can:
- Participate in rotations as members of the health-care team in their choice of unit
- Choose elective and selective experiences in a range of subspecialties
- Perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and work on call
Opportunities for self-directed learning and career exploration further enrich the educational experience. This immersive and supportive environment equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary to become competent health-care professionals.
Post-MD program
Post-MD program
Post-MD program residents are placed at Sinai Health to continue their generalist and specialty training in a wide range of programs. Some of these residents are also involved in research and quality improvement projects.
Residents have a dual role in our system, as they are both key providers of care in our clinics and wards, as well as learners on the road to independent practice.
Residents at Sinai Health:
- Work with a graded level of responsibility under world-renowned physicians
- Enhance their medical knowledge and clinical skills by practising medicine in a leading-edge research, teaching and clinical care institution
- Gain experience working in a variety of regional, provincial or national programs in diabetes, high-risk obstetrics, inflammatory bowel disease, neonatal intensive care, reconstructive orthopaedics, critical care, bone and soft-tissue sarcoma, and in the bone and tissue bank
