Faculty of Medicine
The 69传媒 has established a Faculty of Medicine to house a regional campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland's Faculty of Medicine. The 69传媒site will operate as a regional campus of Memorial until a future joint degree is eventually established.
This university-to-university partnership brings together the strengths of both institutions鈥攔ural and family medicine, nursing, clinical psychology, paramedicine, veterinary medicine, climate change and adaptation, and sustainable design engineering. A UPEI-based campus will increase training opportunities for future family doctors and general specialists and support the medical career aspirations of Island youth.
The long-term goal is to develop a medical school at 69传媒that is made in PEI for all of PEI, featuring a 鈥渦nique-in-Canada鈥 joint Doctor of Medicine degree with Memorial University to meet the needs of Islanders from tip to tip.

The regional campus program will use Memorial鈥檚 established curriculum. This partnership means we鈥檙e not starting from scratch, allowing us to accelerate our planning.
The accreditation process ensures a medical school delivers high-quality, dynamic, and innovative academic programming to our learners while enabling the faculty to be exceptional teachers. The accreditation process to operate as a regional campus under Memorial鈥檚 accreditation banner is progressing well and is a fluid and iterative process.
UPEI鈥檚 first intake of students will begin their studies in August 2025 at UPEI's regional campus of Memorial鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine. When Joint program approval from CACMS and our regional regulatory agencies (AACHHR and MPHEC) is achieved, students will eventually be enrolled in the 69传媒Faculty of Medicine/Memorial University Joint Doctor of Medicine program.
