ON invests $300M to expand teaching clinics as part of new primary care legislation

As part of a broader effort to protect and improve primary care, the Government of Ontario has announced a $300M investment to build 17 new and expanded community-based primary teaching clinics. These clinics will be operated in partnership with McMaster University, NOSM University, Queens University, Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Ottawa, University of Toronto, and Western University. They will be used to train family doctors and other health care professionals, while also providing patient care to Ontarians. “We are proud to be part of a transformative moment for health care in Ontario – one that recognizes the essential role of primary care and the power of education in driving long-term, sustainable change,” said TMU President Mohamed Lachemi.
