Ontario is increasing the number of medical school spots at London’s Western University in an effort to fill gaps left by the ongoing shortage of health-care professionals. The government announced Thursday that the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry will add 16 medical education spots and 22 residency training positions over the next three years starting this fall.
The new positions are part of the province’s plan to expand medical school education through a new investment of 33-million dollars over the next three years. The funding is creating a total of 100 undergraduate medical school seats starting this year and another 154 post-graduate medical training seats beginning in 2024.
