Admissions blog: spotlight on - The Office of Indigenous Medical Education

Did you know that the Faculty of Medicine has an Office of Indigenous Medical Education? Officially opened in 2014, the office is home to curricular co-leads in Indigenous Health Education – Dr. Jason Pennington and Dr. Lisa Richardson – and the Indigenous Peoples' Program Coordinator, Rochelle Allan. The office is working to advance Indigenous community engagement and supports, and to enhance and increase Indigenous curriculum for all students to improve the discourse in Indigenous Medical Education.

Are you an Indigenous student who is looking to apply to U of T Medicine? The Indigenous Student Application Program (ISAP) has been developed to increase the number of Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) medical students at U of T. The Office of Indigenous Medical Education works to create a strong community of support throughout the application process and through continued student development in the MD program.

For more information, visit the ISAP webpage. For any questions, email the Office of Indigenous Medical Education for further assistance.
