The Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs in Medical Science cover diverse areas including basic sciences, clinical sciences, and population health research. Students work closely with faculty mentors, gaining specialized training and access to Toronto's leading multidisciplinary research environment. These full-time MSc and PhD programs focus primarily on practical research rather than classroom instruction. The Institute of Medical Science (IMS) serves as the premier graduate destination for MDs pursuing careers as clinician-researchers, with alumni securing academic and healthcare leadership roles across universities, government agencies, and private industry. IMS also participates in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Clinical Investigator Program (CIP).
Our Institute provides dynamic Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs spanning fundamental sciences, clinical research, and public health studies. Working with expert faculty advisors, students benefit from tailored training and exposure to Toronto's most advanced cross-disciplinary research initiatives. Graduates frequently attain influential positions as scholars and healthcare experts within academic institutions, government bodies, and corporate sectors. Biomedical Communication represents a unique interdisciplinary field combining art, science, medicine, and communication principles. Canada's only program of its kind, the Master of Science in Biomedical Communication (MScBMC) ranks among four globally accredited programs in this specialty. Through its two-year curriculum, the MScBMC Program trains students in developing and assessing various visual communication tools, from medical illustrations and media design to animations and virtual simulations.
