By The Numbers
Introduction
Touchstone Institute provides learning programs for international medical graduates (IMGs) and visa trainees who have been matched or accepted into medical training in Ontario.
Curriculum, orientation, supports, and services are offered to prepare learners from various training backgrounds for a successful transition into residency training through competency-based programs.
Whether courses refresh IMGs' understanding or address new competencies, our Ontario-specific programming ensures that learners are provided the foundational experience, exposure, and opportunity to practice the competencies necessary for successful training in Ontario.
Our Programs
Our learning programs are separated into three streams to help meet the needs of all IMGs and visa trainees transitioning to training in Ontario.
The three streams of programming are specifically designed for all international medical graduates, including Canadians educated abroad, who have successfully matched to a training position in Ontario, or those who have attained a position to further their training as a visa trainee or clinical fellow.
