The Faculty of Medicine is one of the constituent faculties of McGill University. It was established in 1823 as the Montreal Medical Institution, and became the first faculty of McGill College in 1829. It was the first medical faculty to be established in Canada.
The faculty includes three schools, the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Nursing, and the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy. It also includes 13 research centres involved in studies on pain, neuroscience, and aging. Most of the faculty is housed in the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building, situated on the south side of Mount Royal between Pine Avenue and Dr. Penfield.
The McGill University Health Centre is affiliated with the faculty, and is comprised of five teaching hospitals — the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal General Hospital, Montreal Children's Hospital, Montreal Neurological Hospital, and the Montreal Chest Institute. Three other health care facilities are affiliated with the faculty: Jewish General Hospital, Douglas Hospital, and St. Mary's Hospital Centre. In April 2006 the Quebec government approved plans to commence the first phase of construction of the new McGill University Health Centre.
