MedLinx, offered by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, is a transformative program for high school students (grades 9–12) from underrepresented communities who are curious about careers in healthcare. The program runs from November 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 and offers a dynamic blend of hands-on activities, mentorship, and academic workshops, providing students with an inside look at the world of medicine and health sciences.
