An initiative of
Our Internal Medicine Residency Training Program is a fully integrated program in cooperation with the three campuses of the University’s teaching hospital: The Ottawa Hospital: General Campus (including the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre and The Rehabilitation Centre), the Civic Campus (including the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre) and the Riverside Campus.
We also are fortunate to have affiliation with the Montfort Hospital (community site in Ottawa) to offer a Francophone stream.
The patient resources, available to support residents in their learning, are excellent in terms of volume, variety, and complexity. The University of Ottawa offers three years of Internal Medicine leading to entry into a medicine subspecialty program.
For application details and program description visit https://www.carms.ca.
To reduce unnecessary travel and expense, we review and select applicants based on the submitted package (personal letter, curriculum vitae, transcript, Dean’s letter and 3 letters of reference). Only candidates who submit complete applications will be considered for file review.
We select candidates based on a solid academic record, excellent reference letters, strong interpersonal skills and extracurricular success. A strong interest in Internal Medicine and the University of Ottawa must be evident. Research experience is considered an asset. All applications, that meet application criteria, will be reviewed and interviews offered based on a file review score.

No, there is no need to translate the reference letters. While we request that the application be completed in English, we do have many faculty staff reviewers who are bilingual. The University of Ottawa is a bilingual university.
We do not require these.
