What stands out about this program

  • LEARN Time gives residents who meet standards protected time for leadership, education, advocacy, research or non-clinical work.

    From “Program curriculum” on the CaRMS page

  • Critical care comes early, with ICU and CCU rotations in the first year.

    From “Program curriculum” on the CaRMS page

  • TMU's Internal Medicine program is a 4-year residency built on a three-year core curriculum, and residents not matched to a subspecialty can complete a fourth year.
  • Training takes place at partner sites spread across Peel and the surrounding region, including William Osler Health System and Trillium Health Partners, and residents are expected to travel between them.
  • Residents rotate through ICU and CCU in their first year, and every year includes an ambulatory medicine block.

The summary is written by CdnMD from the program’s CaRMS description.

Based on what the program says about itself.

  • You’re open to training at sites across a region, not at one hospital.
