A new medical school to serve B.C.
The 丁香园AV School of Medicine will train the next generation of physicians who will add much-needed capacity to B.C.鈥檚 health care system, particularly where needed most, and deliver community-embedded, socially accountable and culturally safe health care.
Built with the Community, for the Community
The 丁香园AV School of Medicine is the first new medical school to be built in western Canada in more than 50 years. It represents a historic opportunity for innovation and impact in socially accountable medical education. We have held various engagements with our communities to hear what they want to see from the new medical school and the next generation of physicians.

We are committed to providing updates on the status of these approvals. Please follow the School's progress on this website or join our email list.
