Community Health Centre Education Program for Black Medical Students

The CHC Education Program for Black Medical Students provides opportunities for students enrolled at the University of Toronto to participate in full-time summer employment between their first and second year or second and third year of medical school.  Students will be embedded in CHC operations and perform required tasks, while also learning about the CHC model of health care delivery.  Each student will develop or assist in a community-based project that will be presented at the end of the program.  Students will have a CHC site supervisor and a faculty supervisor. 

The following CHCs are participating in the program: 

TAIBU, Black Creek, Parkdale Queen West, Carea and Women’s Health in Women’s Hands 

DURATION

The program runs for 9 to 10 continuous weeks from early/mid-June to mid-August.  Students are expected to work on a full-time basis with designated academic time.
