school in its Brampton campus expansion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torontomu.ca\/school-of-medicine\/\">TMU press release<\/a>, this will be the first medical school in Ontario.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This will be the school\u2019s first major expansion since changing the name from Ryerson to TMU in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bramalea Civic Centre was chosen for development due to its proximity to both the Brampton Civic and Peel Memorial Hospitals as well as its accessibility to municipal transportation, GO transit and highway systems, the press release reads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notable speakers at the presentation include president and vice-chancellor Mohamed Lachemi, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown and Ontario Premier Doug Ford\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to creating a school of medicine that will meet the diverse needs of the Brampton and Peel Region community and today, with a location secured, we are one step closer,\u201d said Lachemi.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TMU is also receiving a $20 million investment from the City of Brampton to support renovations for programming and operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTMU\u2019s new school of medicine will help to ensure that we have the doctors in place in Brampton, in Peel Region and throughout the province so that Ontarians get the quality care they need, when and where they need it,\u201d said Premier Ford.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The medical school will open in September 2025 with 80 undergraduate and 95 postgraduate seats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CJRU reached out to president Lachemi for comment about the medical school, and is awaiting a
