Important Update
The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) is launching a new capacity-based model for all visiting elective students in July 2025. The goal of this model is for clerkship students to explore specialties in greater depth (confirm career choices), practice clinical skills, and demonstrate competence in the twelve entrustable professional activities (EPAs). Our Electives Team will be connecting with our electives community to explain exactly how this new model will impact our sites.
Thank you for your commitment to teaching our 3rd and 4th year Elective students from U of T, across Canada and Internationally! Below you will find common resources you will need before, during and after your learner's elective block(s).
All MD Program teachers are asked to become familiar with the following resources when preparing for their teaching roles (1) Psychological Safety and (2) Learner Mistreatment.
“This [Elective] opportunity proved to be transformative, shaping my future career aspirations in ways I couldn't have anticipated.”- Visiting Elective Student, December 2024
