Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology Residency

University of Toronto - Faculty of Medicine

Degree:Post-diploma
Field of Study:Pharmacology and Toxicology

Description:

The University of Toronto Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology training program is one of only three such programs in the country. Applications are accepted from trainees in internal medicine, emergency medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, anesthesia and, most recently, public health and preventive medicine. The residency program is very flexible and can be tailored to a primary specialty. In some instances, trainees are able to pursue dual training in another subspecialty program (for example, critical care, geriatrics, etc.) concomitantly. The training program follows the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada objectives of training, which are updated regularly. Each resident is expected to do a six month block of his or her primary specialty along with two three-month blocks of two other specialties. A full year of elective experiences constitutes the second year of training. A mandatory lecture series and examination are expected to be completed within the two years. Trainees are expected to participate in research, and a variety of options are available to this end.
