Brief To The Royal Commission On Health Services Presented On Behalf Of The Teaching Hospitals Of The University Of Toronto By John Hamilton And Rm Janes PDF Download

"The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Toronto is submitting this Brief for the purpose of presenting to the Commission problems of medical education and some aspects of this medical centre that are unique, and therefore have not been included in other presentations such as that of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges. Because of the size of the city and the University, the clinical and basic science facilities are extensive so that in the four areas in which a medical school functions, that is: undergraduate and graduate teaching, research, and the continuing education of the physician, the University of Toronto is the largest in Canada. The number of physicians receiving graduate education and continuing medical education in this centre is very large and is increasing annually, having already reached the point where they greatly exceed the number of undergraduate medical students. Toronto is becoming an international centre for foreign students seeking training at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."--Leaf 1, intro
