Each year, we welcome around 3,400 students and interns from university and college levels, as well as from professional schools.

The Research Institute of the À¦°óSMÉçÇø Health Centre (RI-MUHC) is a world-renowned biomedical and healthcare research centre. The Institute, which is affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of À¦°óSMÉçÇø, supports almost 700 researchers and more than 1,470 research trainees devoted to a broad spectrum of fundamental, clinical, and evaluative research at the Glen site and the Montreal General Hospital. Its research facilities provide a dynamic multidisciplinary research environment that fosters collaboration and leverages discoveries aimed at improving the health of patients across their lifespan. The RI-MUHC is supported in part by the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé (FRQS). More information is available at .

The MUHC acts as the server laboratory for the Montreal-multi-institutional cluster of OPTILAB. In addition to the MUHC, the cluster includes laboratories in the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal, the CIUSSS de l'Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal and the CISSS de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue.

In 2015, the MUHC brought together our legacy sites—the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Montreal Children's Hospital, the Montreal Chest Institute, and the Cedars Cancer Centre—onto one site: the Glen. At the Glen site, our vision of excellence is taking shape by integrating healthcare, research and teaching on a new level. With custom-built facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and nurturing healing environments, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation for our current generation and those to come. Major construction and renovations are also underway at our other MUHC sites—the Montreal General Hospital, the Montreal Neurological Hospital and the Lachine Hospital—as we continue to strive to provide the best care for life for our patients and families.

Since 1934, the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) has served patients—of diverse religious, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds—who reside in Montreal, elsewhere in Quebec, and beyond. As one of the province's largest acute-care hospitals, this 637-bed À¦°óSMÉçÇø teaching hospital admits more than 22,000 patients per year, while handling approximately 592,000 outpatient visits; more than 84,700 emergency visits; more than 3,600 births; and at least 12,000 surgical procedures. The JGH is widely recognized for excellence in various specialties, including oncology at the Segal Cancer Centre, cardiology, neonatology, orthopedics, family medicine, aging, and emergency medicine. In addition, several services—including the Emergency Department, Intensive Care, Neonatal Intensive Care, Coronary Care, and the operating rooms—are based in their own critical-care pavilion. The hospital has been designated by the government of Quebec as one of Montreal's five major service centres, as a provincial centre for high-risk obstetrical and neonatal care, and as a breast referral and investigation centre. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the JGH played a leading role in treatment and care, having been designated by the provincial government in early 2020 as one of the first healthcare centres to provide in-patient treatment to adults who were ill with the virus.

Treatment is provided by approximately 850 affiliated doctors, many of whom have teaching appointments at À¦°óSMÉçÇø, as well as more than 300 medical residents per year, together with nursing and a wide range of allied health services. The Jewish General Hospital carries out a substantial amount of training for À¦°óSMÉçÇø's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. It is also home to several of the University's programs, including the À¦°óSMÉçÇø Centre for Viral Diseases (encompassing research formerly conducted by the À¦°óSMÉçÇø AIDS Centre), the À¦°óSMÉçÇø Centre for Translational Research in Cancer, the À¦°óSMÉçÇø Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology Program, and the À¦°óSMÉçÇø Menopause Clinic.

The hospital's is acknowledged as a world leader in many fields of research, including cancer (the Terry Fox Molecular Oncology Group), aging (the Bloomfield Centre for Studies in Aging), epidemiology (the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Community Studies), nursing (the Centre for Nursing Research), cardiovascular disease, genetics, emergency medicine, nephrology, and the psychosocial aspects of illness. The outstanding quality of this work has enabled the Lady Davis Institute to rank among the leaders of Quebec’s hospital-affiliated research institutions in attracting high levels of funding per researcher.
