Teaching and learning for a healthier world
Our vision – that teaching and learning builds a Healthier World – is ambitious but achievable. It is built upon the strengths we already have and will be enabled by the unique structure we created when we brought a school into a hospital network.

UHN’s Five-Year Education Strategic Plan in centred on four hallmark initiatives: our schools of applied health sciences and continuing education, our research institute and our culture of lifelong learning across all campuses of UHN. Together, these initiatives will help us create an ecosystem of teaching and learning that translates into outstanding, compassionate care in the communities we serve.
