Medical Doctoral Winner: University of Toronto.

This article profiles the University of Toronto, which ranked high in the medical doctoral category of the ranking of Canadian colleges and universities by "Maclean's." Home to roughly 70,000 students, 3,000 faculty, more than 300 undergraduate programs, 14 professional faculties and 32 libraries, Canada's top-ranked Medical-Doctoral university is a place where learning is the order of the day. This past year alone, the university awarded $54 million in undergraduate student aid, more than three-quarters of it based on need--while hiring 81 new tenure-stream professors, who have found a place on campus alongside such stars as peace-and-conflict expert Thomas Homer-Dixon, demographer David Foot and cancer researcher Tak W. Mak. Big changes are also afoot at U of T's two burgeoning suburban campuses. It's just that kind of dedication to what Iacobucci calls "the total student experience" that has helped the University of Toronto remain at the cutting edge of higher education, while building on its impressive history.
