- Several Ontario Faculties and Schools of Medicine are extending their full undergraduate medical education programs to satellite sites.

UGME
COAHL libraries are involved in the delivery of undergraduate medical education in their institutions. The LCME accreditation standards and CanMeds competencies indicate a level of informatics competencies required by the graduating physician.
COAHL members are currently gathering data in order to create a summary of the current instruction and its relationship to the relevant competencies in each school. The outcomes of the project will be used for further development of instructional programs.
