The program offers an extensive experience in both the clinical and basic science aspects of this discipline. Trainees from abroad who are successful in securing funding from their own sources are encouraged to apply. This is an immersion year in clinical diabetes and endocrinology. Trainees are exposed during this time to a wide spectrum of clinical experiences and attend and participate in an established academic program. Trainees have the opportunity to identify an area of research within or outside of the Division of Paediatric Endocrinology prior to or very early on in their Postgraduate Year One Trainee year.
Extensive counselling is provided to help trainees make an appropriate choice.
This year may be pursued further to a graduate degree or the Clinician Investigator Program. In special circumstances, i.e. non Canadian Fellows returning to a predominantly clinical environment, the PGY2 year can be designed for further clinical exposure. All contents copyright , 1996-2000.
