Welcome to uOttawaMed uOttawaMed
As the new semester begins, the Faculty of Medicine’s dynamic campus is coming alive once again in classrooms, clinics and labs! It’s a pleasure to welcome both returning students and those newly embarking on their exciting journey at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine.

We take pride in offering top-tier programs designed to shape the health professionals of tomorrow. Our Faculty is deeply committed to delivering exceptional medical education, supported by renowned and dedicated professors and state-of-the-art facilities.

Recent international rankings have highlighted our success, both nationally and internationally, further solidifying the reputation of our vibrant community.

These outstanding results are largely attributed to the adaptability of our faculty’s professors and support staff, who continually adapt our programs to meet the changing needs of the health sector and the aspirations of our students. Each year, the Faculty pushes the boundaries of innovation, and this fall we are excited to launch the new Clinical Science and Translational Medicine Program, the first of its kind in Canada.

Our pursuit of excellence is further reflected by the Advanced Medical Research Centre, a cutting-edge facility currently under construction adjacent to Roger Guindon Hall. This centre will propel our medical ecosystem forward in research, innovation, and commercialization of groundbreaking discoveries.

Life on campus is vibrant and dynamic, extending well beyond the classroom. We have a passionate and welcoming student community, eager to welcome and support first-year students.
