Faculty of Medicine

Memorial University’s Faculty of Medicine is committed to providing the highest standard of medical education and supporting health research with the goal of advancing the health of the people and communities we serve. 

We are leaders in rural medical education and have received national and international awards and recognition. As the only medical school in Newfoundland and Labrador, research that focuses on the need of our communities is a priority. Ground-breaking research has provided important medical discoveries, which have led to improved medical interventions and patient care.

Two Memorial University medical students are on a mission to equip future physicians with a deeper understanding of how identity and culture shape patient care.

Third-year Faculty of Medicine students Josheil Boparai and Jessica Canning co-founded and launched Beyond the Surface, a monthly newsletter that takes a deeper look into how medical conditions and health experiences present differently across populations.

The initiative simultaneously enhances their medical education and encourages culturally competent care, the learners say.
