TMU president Mohamed Lachemi on historic milestone of opening a new medical school

September 3, 2025

Toronto Metropolitan University’s new medical school officially opens its Brampton campus Wednesday. The school is trumpeting the opening as the first new medical school in the Greater Toronto Area in more than a century. It will be located about an hour’s drive northwest of the downtown Toronto campus in the former Brampton Civic Centre, which has been renovated to include classrooms, labs, offices and student spaces for the incoming class of 94 MD students.

TMU president Mohamed Lachemi spoke to The Globe and Mail about the significance of the school’s opening and other issues affecting the university sector.
