MedLinx
Join a community committed to your success!
MedLinx is a groundbreaking program run by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, specifically designed to support high school students (grades 9-12) from underrepresented communities who are interested in exploring careers in healthcare.
Programs take place November 1 - April 30
MedLinx is a comprehensive program that runs from November to April and offers students a unique chance to gain real-world experience in healthcare through hands-on activities, mentorship, and academic workshops. The program is specifically designed to bridge the gap for students facing systemic barriers, including those from Black, Indigenous, Filipino, Latin American, racialized groups, or students who experience socio-economic challenges.
Each participant will also receive a co-curricular transcript which will list their involvement in MedLinx activities, demonstrate their well-rounded experiences and enhance their job and university applications.
