Car
- Parking at the Lakeridge Health Oshawa site is $30/month. It gets busy, so allocate about 10-15 minutes to find a parking spot.
- Gas from East Toronto: ~$60/week
- Car is highly recommended for Community Month (rural clinical placements).
Public Transportation: Buses/Trains
- Oshawa GO Station/VIA Rail: 10 minutes by car/<20 minute bus ride from Lakeridge
- 1 hour from Oshawa GO to Toronto Union Station
- Durham Region Transit (DRT)
- Class of 2027: Some students don't have regular access to a car, and primarily rely on the DRT to get around Oshawa or nearby area (Courtice, Bowmanville) for clinical placements. It's generally reliable, but there can be delays. Based on our first year experience, our program has made it convenient by scheduling most of our mandatory in person sessions at either the Lakeridge Health Oshawa site, or in the Clinical Skills Building (247 Simcoe St N) across the street.
Airplane
- 45 minute drive from Oshawa to Pearson Airport
