Brandon University will not get a stand-alone medical school, although a satellite campus could set up shop here sometime in the future. <\/p>\n
That's according to a long-awaited report comissioned last year. <\/p>\n
Read the full study online here. <\/p>\n
The Brandon Medical Education Study concluded that a separate medical school in Brandon an idea championed by some in the community for the past several years would be \"ill-advised,\" given the region's relatively small population. <\/p>\n
However, the study suggests that the government work towards establishing a satellite medical school in Brandon, in partnership with the University of Manitoba. <\/p>\n
The province has said that it accepts all of the recommendations made by the study, including the advice to train and hire more doctors in Brandon, rural and northern Manitoba. <\/p>\n
\"We want to ensure we are training doctors for families in all corners of Manitoba,\" said education minister Erin Selby. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
