Seeking an Enriching Educational Experience

Enriching Educational Experiences for University of Toronto Medical Students

The Enriching Educational Experiences (EEE) Program provides University of Toronto medical students with opportunities for clinical placements either as a required part of the Foundations Curriculum or as non-curricular activities. EEE activities play an important role in a student's career development, and allow students to experience and explore different practices and specialty settings. These experiences are organized directly between students and supervisors and take place during designated self-directed learning times in Years 1 and 2.

Steps for students seeking an experience at North York General Hospital:
