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 top-tier multidisciplinary research environment. These full-time MSc and PhD programs focus primarily on practical research rather than classroom learning. 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).
At the Institute of Medical Science, we provide dynamic MSc and PhD programs spanning fundamental sciences, clinical research, and public health studies. Working alongside our distinguished faculty, you'll gain hands-on experience with Toronto's most advanced interdisciplinary research initiatives. Our graduates hold influential positions as scholars and healthcare leaders in academic institutions, government organizations, 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) stands among just four globally accredited programs in this specialty. Through its two-year curriculum, the MScBMC program trains students to develop and assess various visual communication tools, from medical illustrations and animations to interactive media designs and virtual simulations.
