The four-storey health sciences complex houses the Mississauga Academy of Medicine as well as U of T’s internationally renowned biomedical communications program, Department of Anthropology offices and research laboratories, lecture theatres and medical teaching classrooms. The Mississauga Academy of Medicine, which welcomed 54 students in its first-year class this past August, is a partnership among U of T Mississauga, U of T’s Faculty of Medicine, Trillium Health Centre and Credit Valley Hospital.
The Terrence Donnelly Health Sciences Complex and the Mississauga Academy of Medicine are designed to help address Ontario’s critical shortage of doctors. The project is a result of a partnership between U of T Mississauga, U of T’s Faculty of Medicine and local hospitals. By 2014, the Academy will have 216 students enrolled in its four-year program. Medical students study alongside scientists and benefit from clinical training at Trillium Health Partners.
