This 12 month Program is jointly accredited by the Royal College (RCPSC) and the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The philosophy of the program is to provide the resident with a broad and inclusive experience in Palliative Care. The Program will include experience in a number of Palliative Care settings — community, acute care hospital, Palliative Care Unit and Long-term Care setting. It will include a two month block of oncology, and some elective time. Each Palliative Care block has unique features that give the Fellow exposure to patients with a wide variety of Palliative Care problems; for example, oncology and renal patients, cardiovascular and trauma patients, and others.
The Resident will have extensive and varied exposure to management of pain and other symptoms, psychosocial care of patients and their families and interprofessional team work.
