Interim dean hired for new school, which is expected to start admitting students in 2026
Premier David Eby has announced nearly $5 million in funding for a new medical school at Simon Fraser University’s campus in Surrey that is expected to admit its first students in 2026.
Strasser, founding dean and CEO of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Sudbury, “has a record of getting things done,” said Eby. The premier said he’s “determined to take action” to ensure everyone in B.C. has access to a family doctor. The school will aim to train family doctors prepared to serve diverse communities and populations and ready to work in team-based primary-care settings, the province said.
The new medical school will ensure British Columbians have increased access to “highly skilled, dedicated doctors close to home,” he said. On Sunday, the province announced it would fast-track the accreditation process to allow doctors trained outside B.C. to work here.
