Student Assistance

The Student Assistance section is intended as a quick reference for medical students at the University of Toronto who are experiencing an urgent or crisis situation.

This section provides information and links to resources on key issues that may arise, but does not connect you directly to assistance.

If your health or safety, or the health or safety of someone else, is at risk, please call 911 or seek medical attention right away.

Dealing with personal issues? Please know that you are not alone. There are many people who can help you, no matter what problem you might be facing.

We recognize that there are instances, which may necessitate you to take time away from the MD Program. Learn about planned and unplanned absences.

If you are experiencing mistreatment, including incidents of discrimination, harassment, mistreatment and other unprofessional behaviour, connect with us and get assistance.

If you have been injured in the workplace see a detailed outline of the steps that should be taken.
