Nursing school of the University of Toronto
The Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing is the nursing school of the University of Toronto. It is based in the Health Sciences Building on the St. George campus, in the Discovery District of downtown Toronto.
The University of Toronto has provided nursing education since 1920, when educator E. Kathleen Russell established the former Department of Public Health Nursing. The School of Nursing as it exists today was founded when the department merged with the School of Hygiene in 1933, with Russell at its first director.[3] Following her vision of progressive reform in nursing education, it hosted the first four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program in Canada.[1]
Tri-campus expansion
[edit]
The university plans to expand the undergraduate nursing (BScN) program to its Mississauga campus beginning in 2026.[4] The planned Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health (SAMIH) at the Scarborough campus is expected to open for students in the Nurse Practitioner program the same year. These expansions to the university’s suburban campuses follow significant growth of the Greater Toronto Area and demand for an increased number of health care professionals.[5][6]
Bloomberg Nursing offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) as its only undergraduate program. Graduate programs include:[7]
- Master of Nursing (MN)
- Post-Master Nurse Practitioner Diploma (PMNP)
- Collaborative Specializations for Master’s and Doctoral Students
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
- Doctor of Nursing
