The modules were developed at the University of Toronto and are now used by programs across the country. The University of Toronto offers a unique opportunity in the Clinician-Scientist Program. Individuals may apply for up to three years of financial support while completing training in research. One year of research may be considered as subspecialty training by the residency program. Teaching rounds are held weekly on Tuesday mornings.
Attendance is mandatory and residents are excused from clinical responsibilities to attend.
The seminars and workshops are designed to be interactive, case-based learning opportunities. The junior and senior residents have separate workshops which are precepted by the faculty of the affiliated teaching hospitals. Over the course of the residency the content of the major emergency medicine textbooks will be reviewed. The Resident Workshops are followed by Resident Rounds. The weekly, hour long rounds allow the residents to present short cases with a single teaching point.
