This initiative will enhance training for aspiring Prince Edward Island doctors.

UPEI and Memorial University are launching a regional Doctor of Medicine campus, combining their joint expertise in rural medicine, planetary health, climate change and more.

This summer marked the first official meetings of our new Physician Leads, a team of accomplished physicians and medical educators who will help shape UPEI's future independent Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. From admissions and curriculum to learner well-being, social accountability, clerkship, and postgraduate medical education, their expertise will help build a program that's made by PEI, for PEI.

This is just the beginning of the next chapter in medical education. Meet the incredible physicians helping lead the way and learn more about their roles at: https://medicine.upei.ca/physician-leads/

We were thrilled to welcome Dr. Ajay Sahajpal, a UPEI alumnus, and his daughter, to tour the UPEI Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Centre!

Dr. Sahajpal is a multiorgan transplant and hepatobiliary surgeon with Advocate Health in Milwaukee/Chicago and is a member of the UPEI Board of Governors. He joined us for a tour of the Clinical Learning and Simulation Centre, Medical Laboratories and innovative learning spaces that are helping to shape the next generation of health professionals. His daughter even got to try out the stationary ambulance!

We were honoured to dedicate a portrait of Dr. Chester Bryant Stewart, a physician, educator, researcher, and visionary leader from Prince Edward Island whose influence helped shape medical education across Atlantic Canada.

His legacy continues to inspire future generations of physicians studying at UPEI. You can see the portrait in the Dean's suite at the UPEI Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Centre.

All from Prince Edward Island, this second cohort is preparing to begin their Doctor of Medicine journey.

Today was all about getting oriented, meeting classmates and campus staff, and becoming familiar with the place they’ll call their learning home for the next 10 months.

We’re excited to welcome them and to see where their medical education journey takes them. 🩺

Did you know that for decades, women were largely excluded from clinical drug trials?

At University of Prince Edward Island , advancing conversations around women's health is a priority, and through our community engagement work, Islanders told us it is for them too. That's why we're sharing this excellent video from our friends at Healthcare For Real a Canadian Medical Association project that helps demystify Canadian healthcare.

In this video, Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe explains the history behind why science stopped testing many treatments on women and how that decision continues to influence healthcare today.

If you find this video informative, be sure to follow our friends!

One year makes a big difference!

In August 2025, this was a construction site. Today, it's a state-of-the-art wet lab in the Medical Laboratories, where current and future healthcare professionals gain hands-on anatomy experience.

Check out the transformation!
