The mission of the Undergraduate Medical Education Program is to provide an environment which will assist students to become competent, caring, ethical physicians with the ability to think critically. This experience will prepare students to choose wisely their area of training, to successfully continue their education, and subsequently to meet responsibilities to their patients and society.
UGME is located in 260 Brodie Centre within the Faculty of Medicine Deans Office. Please stop by to see any member of the UGME team on your next visit to Brodie Centre.
