Funding announced for new medical school at SFU Surrey campus

Interim dean hired for new school, which is expected to start admitting students in 2026

Premier David Eby has announced nearly $5 million in funding for a new medical school at Simon Fraser University’s campus in Surrey that is expected to admit its first students in 2026.

Strasser, founding dean and CEO of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Sudbury, “has a record of getting things done,” said Eby, who said he’s “determined to take action” to ensure everyone in B.C. has access to a family doctor. When the SFU medical school is up and running, it will be the first new medical school in western Canada in 50 years, Eby said.

“I am unbelievably fired up about today’s announcement, which I think is going to help our province for [the next] 50 years, 100 years before us,” said Dix.
