About the School

Our mission is to educate health professionals and students in the biomedical sciences by conducting research, by generating a spirit of inquiry, and by serving the health needs of the people of southeastern Ontario, drawing on Queen's learning environment to enable our graduates to become the leading health professionals for Canada's rural, northern, and urban communities and to provide researchers and educators for the nation's future.

Curriculum

The educational program leading to the MD degree is central to the purpose of the Faculty. It must meet all the requirements for accreditation and prepare graduates for postgraduate training leading to licensure and certification by the College of Family Physicians or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. Its special strengths are related to the opportunities for close, personal interaction between students and faculty members and for students to obtain particularly relevant, extensive, hands-on clinical experience under supervision, especially in ambulatory settings. There is great potential for students to benefit from greater integration of the clinical and basic sciences in the curriculum and from increased collaboration in education among the clinical disciplines.

Facilities

The provision of health care services in Kingston is presently being restructured and will change over the next two years. The Kingston General Hospital, with about 398 inpatient beds, will provide most inpatient care for the region. There will be a site for ambulatory care which at the present time is centered at the Hotel Dieu Hospital. Chronic care, geriatrics, palliative care and rehabilitation services are currently provided at St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital. All members of the attending medical staff have a University appointment.
