School of Medicine Takes a Major Step Forward With Provincial Funding Boost
Built with the Community, for the Community
The SFU School of Medicine is the first new medical school to be built in western Canada in more than 50 years. It represents a historic opportunity for innovation and impact in socially accountable medical education. We have held various engagements with our communities to hear what they want to see from the new medical school and the next generation of physicians.
