Research

The University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine and our nine fully affiliated hospitals bring together one of the largest communities of health researchers in the world. More than 1,900 principal investigators in 26 academic departments conducted over $1 billion in research last year. Together, we are leading research innovation to do what can't be done, and improving the health of people and populations around the globe.

This year marks 30 years since the Government of Canada first recognized February as Black History Month across the country. To mark this anniversary, we asked learners, faculty and staff across Temerty Medicine: “What does it look like to centre Black brilliance, histories and futures throughout the year, and what practices help you carry this commitment beyond February?” Their reflections touch on mentorship, advocacy, community involvement and personal development.
