Queen's University Department of Rehabilitation Medicine is accredited for full training in the specialty by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The program is geared towards success in the examinations of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada upon completion of the program. The primary objective of the training program is to ensure that the trainee is competent in all aspects of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. All inquiries are received and answered through the office of the Program Director. The Sub-committee members are responsible for the final ranking order of all applications received.
Preference is given to Canadian graduates.
The Department practices equal opportunity for each sex and for disabled and able applicants. Attendance at a comprehensive pre-examination course, generally at the University of Washington in Seattle, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, or at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation Inc. in New Jersey, is encouraged and the Department will assist with costs involved. It is the resident's responsibility to apply for assessment of training well in advance of intentions to sit the RCPS exams and it is the responsibility of the Program Director and Department Head, jointly, to ensure that required data, especially in-training evaluation results, are supplied to the Royal College promptly and completely. Residents should refer to RCPS Specialty Training Requirements in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and RCPS Memorandum re Examination Format in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The rehabilitation unit at St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital includes active ambulatory clinics.
