Writing centres at the University of Toronto provide individual consultations with trained writing instructors, along with group teaching in workshops and courses.

All the undergraduate colleges have writing centres for their students, and so do most professional faculties and the School of Graduate Studies.
The Writing Centre is free for students of York University. Though it focuses on help for all faculty disciplines, its tutors and mentors do not yet have a focus on medical writing. The Writing Centre also has a program specifically for graduate students.

The Science Editorium offers for-a-fee editing help to scientists publishing research papers in peer-reviewed journals. TSE's core service is a Manuscript Health Check:
"A manuscript health check will provide you with a detailed analysis of the structure and flow of your manuscript and constructive feedback for improving your manuscript. The health check will highlight common grammatical errors as well as sections of the manuscript that are difficult to understand and need clarification. This will allow you to improve the readability of your manuscript before it is submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. "
