Temerty Medicine’s Office of Access and Outreach supports the success of learners and practitioners from diverse backgrounds throughout their educational and career journeys. It creates educational pathways that begin with introducing high school students to the health sciences and extend to undergraduate, professional program applicant, trainee and practitioner audiences. 

When you give to the Office of Access and Outreach Priority Fund, you help open doors to new generations of aspiring health care professionals and health scientists by fueling life-changing initiatives such as the Summer Mentorship Program (which celebrates its 30^th anniversary in 2024!), the Community of Support, STEAM Design Program, Research Application Support Initiative, Black and Indigenous Student Applicant Programs. You also help support the Office’s important work advising other post-secondary institutions across Canada in setting up their own access and outreach programs – driving change across the country.

Fundamental health scientists help unravel the mysteries of the human body and disease, while also driving the development of transformative new biomedical therapies and technologies. Graduate students — those pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees while working in laboratories at universities and hospitals — are a major enabler of and contributor to this essential scientific work.

While the Canadian academic health sciences sector has a long track record of achievement, it is also increasingly threatened by the growing challenges graduate research students face. A rising cost of living in Toronto and other Canadian cities, historic inflation and fierce demand for limited funding have led many to pursue advanced scientific training elsewhere, or to forgo this demanding career path altogether. This particularly impacts students from less socio-economically advantaged backgrounds.

Canada cannot afford to lose these talented scientists and their impactful ideas. By supporting Temerty Medicine’s Graduate Student Awards Fund you can help ensure we have the people in place to drive important new discoveries now and for generations to come.

The James and Louise Temerty Building will be a state-of-the-art and inclusive education and research facility. The project will see the redevelopment of the Medical Science Building’s West Wing on the corner of King’s College Road and King’s College Circle – at the very heart of U of T’s St. George campus across from historic Convocation Hall.

The new building will be inclusive of all communities and support discovery, innovation, equity and well-being. It will serve as an important centrepiece for the Temerty Medicine – a place where researchers, partners and students will gather to share ideas and consider answers to scientific, health and clinical questions. In keeping with U of T’s long-standing commitment to excellence in architecture, the building will be designed to enrich the campus and the student learning experience.

With laboratories equipped with the latest equipment for biomedical research, specially designed teaching labs and modular spaces, and unique spaces to spark collaboration and dialogue among students and researchers, the new building will help draw top talent, support medical discovery and innovation, and become a vibrant hub for public engagement and academic partnerships.
