Province Helping More Ontario Students Become Doctors at Home

The government is is further expanding the number of medical school spots to historic highs while helping Ontario students become doctors in the province, whether they studied at home or abroad.

Starting in 2023, the government is investing an additional $33 million over three years to add another 100 undergraduate medical school seats and another 154 postgraduate medical training seats beginning in 2024, both of which prioritize Ontario residents.

The new investment in Budget 2023 builds on the expansion of 160 undergraduate and 295 postgraduate medical training seats announced last year, the largest expansion of Ontario’s medical school system in over a decade.

Expanding medical education that prioritizes Ontarians will make it easier for the doctors of tomorrow to receive training close to home and provide world class health care right in their own communities.
