The Department is proud to host a respectful, multi-disciplinary, and inclusive work setting in its multiple areas of activity. Its educational and research missions support excellent and innovative clinical programs across our teaching hospitals. The McGill University Health Center is one of McGill’s major teaching hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Canada’s internationally renowned McGill University, located in the vibrant and multicultural city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec.
