In addition to the daily face-to-face learning that occurs on each rotation, the program provides a comprehensive academic curriculum that is centered around the academic half-day, but that also involves numerous other rounds throughout the week. A thematic curriculum is organized on a two-year cycle such that residents are exposed to each subject twice in this venue over the course of their residency. Protected time is provided for teaching rounds to allow residents to maximally participate.
As residents approach their Royal College examinations, the program also provides funding for participationin a Canadian review course.
