Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences
Founded in 1829, the ΒιΆΉΙη Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences was the first faculty established at the University and the first medical faculty in Canada. Today, ΒιΆΉΙη is the leading medical research university nationally, and is renowned for its excellence in the health sciences worldwide.
The Faculty is home to a unique and stellar community of professors, practitioners, researchers, students and support staff. It is a burgeoning hub of interdisciplinary collaboration for the training not only of doctors, but also nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, as well as scientists who are defining new paradigms for health and well-being in this century.
Innovation in education is a Faculty cornerstone, as so is the βOslerianβ tradition that emphasizes both the science and the art of the βhealer.β Within the ΒιΆΉΙη teaching hospital network β which includes theΒ Douglas Mental Health University Institute, the Jewish General Hospital, the ΒιΆΉΙη Health Centre, St. Mary's Hospital Center β students learn in a variety of settings. Through RUISSS ΒιΆΉΙηβsΒ partners, spanning 63 per cent of the province, opportunities extend far into Quebecβs outlying regions. ΒιΆΉΙηβsΒ Global Health Programs opens up still more possibilities in both learning and research.
At the Montreal Campus, theΒ ΒιΆΉΙη Life Sciences Complex, theΒ Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning,Μύ³Ω³σ±π ;Β and at Campus Outaouais, the Simulation CentreΒ for Interactive LearningΒ (in french) are just four of several wellsprings of excellence and collaboration where the Faculty, with its partners, are working determinedly to advance its mission: to improve the health and well-being of Quebecers and all of society.
