The college comprises 27 academic departments, institutes, and administrative units, offering a comprehensive range of medical education and research opportunities.

The Indigenous Health Longitudinal Course, developed by Dr. Barry Lavallee and Linda Diffey, provides students with the skills to work effectively with Indigenous populations. A unique feature of this curriculum is the Human Library, where first-year medical students engage directly with Indigenous community members to learn about their lives and health experiences.

These include histology and electron microscopy services through affiliated hospital pathology departments, as well as comprehensive animal care services for both small and large animals. Animal imaging services available encompass optical imaging, micro-CT, micro-PET, 7 Tesla MRI, PET-MRI, and ultrasound. Additionally, the Children's Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba provides core facilities and grant opportunities for relevant research.
