Our history
-
-
The University of Manitoba’s Max Rady College of Medicine began as Western Canada’s first medical school in 1883 with 13 Manitoba physicians and one school inspector coming together to establish the Manitoba Medical College, a facility that relied on volunteer instructors and had no building to call its own. The first lecture was given November 21, 1883 by Dr. R. J. Blanchard, at the Collegiate Institute near Portage and Main, and thus begun the future of medical education in Manitoba.
Today, the Max Rady College of Medicine remains the province’s only medical school and educates and trains the majority of Manitoba’s physicians. We are known for our leadership on social accountability, EDI and anti-racism initiatives, Indigenous health, interprofessional collaboration and a robust research enterprise in the clinical and basic sciences including focus on global public health, infectious diseases and population health research.
