Faits saillants
The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. The Department of Family Medicine additionally participates in clinical programs in Inuit communities. We respect the Treaties and Agreements that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
Mandatory Orientation Sessions
The mandatory full day Postgraduate Medical Education Orientation for all residents will be held on Friday, June 26, 2026
The mandatory full day Family Medicine Residency Orientation will be held on Monday, June 29, 2026
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
Prior to the commencement of training, matched applicants must provide proof of ACLS certification that is current as of July 1, 2026. The ACLS Provider course must be certified by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or the American Heart Association. ACLS training that is not certified by one of these two organizations and/or is completed entirely through an online course will not be accepted. Applicants are responsible for all costs associated with obtaining ACLS certification. We provide a re-certification course in your second year of residency prior to graduation.
Family Medicine Professional Choices (FMProC)
The Family Medicine Professional Choices (FMProC) testing is mandatory for all applicants. It is a situational judgement test designed to evaluate your professional reasoning, communication skills and aptitude for responding effectively to diverse clinical situations. It primarily consists of two types of questions: ranking and rating scenarios.
FMProC registration for the first round of CaRMS 2026 will be open on September 10, 2025. More details: https://fmproc.com/
Situational judgement tests are designed to assess applicant’s judgement regarding situations encountered in the workplace or during training. Applicants are presented with a set of hypothetical based scenarios and asked to make judgements about possible responses. Applicants responses are evaluated against a pre-determined scoring key to provide a picture of their situational judgement in that particular context.
The development and modification of the scenarios in FMProC involved input from several leaders with different perspectives, roles and experiences. This included family physicians, educators, family medicine residents and medical students, Indigenous health, rural and remote family medicine, 2SLGBTQ+, anti-racism, international medical graduates and more. This specifically included groups under-represented in medicine to ensure, as much as possible, that no group is disadvantaged by the test format or content.
Vacation Allowance
Vacation in PGY1 can be taken in the following ways:
Two weeks in each of two blocks in conjunction with an approved elective or Family Medicine Block Time in the remaining two weeks of the same blocks
Vacation in 1 week blocks can be taken during Family Medicine Block Time
One 4 week vacation block
*Vacation is not allowed in Block 1 in PGY1.
Though the program tries to accommodate residents’ specific vacation period requests, constraints of scheduling often requires flexibility and not all requests will be approved.
Interview Dates
Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
Thursday, January 22, 2026
Program will notify all applicants through CaRMS Online and will send email invitations directly to applicants selected for an interview. Applicants who are invited for interview will participate in one structured interview, regardless of the number of sites to which you have applied. The structured interview may have questions specific to the sites to which you have applied. The interview is conducted as a 3-person panel interview and typically consists of 1 physician, 1 interprofessional faculty member, and 1 resident. Candidates will be invited to attend one of the three interview days. The interview itself lasts 30 to 40 minutes.
Program Goals
The University of Manitoba is committed to the social justice principles of equity, access and participation and to promoting opportunities for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous, Black, racially marginalized Peoples, persons with disabilities and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities) and women.
A broad knowledge base and clinical skill sets enable family physicians to work in diverse settings such as patients’ homes, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, labour and delivery suites, hospital wards, and nursing homes. Family medicine often serves as the main entry point to the health care system and the hub that provides continuity of care throughout the life cycle. As such, family medicine is the central medical discipline. The importance of primary care in quality of health and the value Canadian society places on family physicians in the delivery of this care are well known.
The goal of our residency program is to train family physicians who are able to provide comprehensive, high quality, continuous care in urban, rural, or remote settings.
Selection Process Goals
An inclusive, open and diverse community is essential to excellence and fosters voices that have been ignored or discouraged. To address the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences commitment to equity, access and participation, and in recognition of the underrepresentation of members of historically and currently excluded groups, our program has taken the following proactive measures as part of our selection process:
Implicit bias training for all selection committee members, diverse representation of selection committee members, inclusion of interview questions targeted to assess applicant commitment to EDIA, offering necessary accommodations during the interview process, second pass/review of applicants below interview and rank order list cut off to review for possible bias in scoring, orientation to all assessors to scoring rubrics, file review completed by dedicated, trained group.
We strive for diverse perspectives and cultural safety throughout the hiring process (resident selection committees, short-list of applicants, interviews). We ask all applicants to include an EDIA statement in their personal letter with evidence demonstrating their own commitment to EDIA in their work and training thus far.
Transport
As you will need to move frequently about the city and province between training sites, you will need to secure a means of transportation. You may find it easiest to maintain a personal vehicle.
Additional Points to Consider:
· Cost of living is one of the most affordable in Canada.
· Full access to University of Manitoba library and its electronic resources, including UpToDate.
· Competitive resident salaries with a solid resident contract including a well-supported maternity/paternity leave policy. http://www.parim.org
· Membership and registration fees are covered for University of Manitoba, College of Family Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, Canadian Medical Protective Association, and the initial membership in the College of Family Physicians of Canada for PGY1 year.
· Annual two day resident retreat held in a community outside of Winnipeg.
· All mandatory course fees are reimbursed upon successful completion. Examples of mandatory courses include: NRP, ALARM, ATLS, BLS and ACLS recertification. Mandatory courses vary between programs.
· Travel costs and accommodation are provided for mandatory offsite rotations.
ABOUT THE NORTH
The Northern Remote residency program requires residents to travel for family medicine rotations, and some optional specialty rotations, to locations throughout Northern Manitoba and Nunavut (and rarely, Northwest Territories). The cost of travel and accommodations are taken care of by the program, and there is a northern food stipend allowance for every day spent in the north. Residents must be fit and able to travel by car, boat and small airplane. The total duration of northern exposure ranges from a maximum of 10 blocks to a minimum of 6 blocks over the course of the 2-year residency. Accommodations for family and pets to accompany residents can occasionally be organized but cannot be guaranteed. Northern rotations typically involve 23 days in the north, with residents returning for the final weekend of the block, followed by academic days in Winnipeg. Some of the potential locations include:
Rankin Inlet or Iqaluit, Nunavut – Experience in Nunavut allows for an introduction to the Inuit culture and to the challenges and rewards of providing medical services in the Arctic. Rankin Inlet is located in the Kivalliq region of the territory, which receives most of its tertiary care support from Winnipeg. A rotation in Rankin Inlet prepares residents to work in a truly remote environment without advanced diagnostic or specialist support. Iqaluit is the Territorial capital city, and is a multi-cultural centre with more specialist consultation available and a full range of medical services.
Norway House Cree Nation – Nestled at the confluence of the Nelson River and Playgreen Lake, Norway House Hospital embodies progress and community spirit. Serving a vibrant community with a flourishing fishing industry, the hospital boasts six in-patient beds and underwent significant renovations in 2011 to enhance its facilities. Electronic medical record, laboratory and x ray services and on-site pharmacist are there as supports, and teaching opportunities are frequent as medical students and allied health learners are frequent visitors. Personal Care home, prenatal care group visits and emergency room exposure is offered. The community is connected to Winnipeg year-round by daily flights and an all-weather road.
Hodgson – Situated 192 kilometers north of Winnipeg in the Interlake region, Percy E. Moore Hospital stands as a vital healthcare hub. This 16-bed, four-bassinet facility serves the diverse communities of Peguis, Fisher River, Kinonjeoshtegon (Jackhead), Fisher Branch, and Hodgson, and nearby farming communities, totaling approximately 10,000 residents. Hodgson is only accessible by road.
Cross Lake – Cross Lake is a First Nation community situated on shores of the Nelson River 520 km from the city, and connected to Winnipeg via an all weather road as well as daily flights. There are just over 2000 people living in the community.
Nursing Stations – There are 12 Manitoba communities staffed by nurses who act as primary caregivers. Family physicians fly or drive in to these communities and act as consultants to the nurses. Residents accompany their preceptors, who are employees of Ongomiizwin Health Services.

Services include an in-patient area with 25 acute and six extended care beds, state-of-the-art support systems and equipment, including an operating room and delivery suite, and essential services such as laboratory, x-ray, and pharmacy. Embracing a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare, Churchill Health Centre serves as a referral base for the 7,000 residents in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut. It is a popular tourist destination, world famous for its polar bears and beluga whales.

Overview of Department
https://umanitoba.ca/medicine/department-family-medicine
The University of Manitoba is committed to the social justice principles of equity, access & participation and to promoting opportunities for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous, Black, racially marginalized Peoples, persons with disabilities and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities) and women.
For more than 40 years, the University of Manitoba’s Department of Family Medicine has been positively influencing the health of individuals, families and communities across Manitoba. Through clinical work, teaching and innovative research, family medicine is making a difference.
We offer residents the chance to learn with interprofessional faculty, such as dietitians, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and other health care professionals. This collaborative learning model teaches our students and residents the basic principles of health care professions, when to use them in their care of patients and how to make appropriate referrals.
This program, accredited by the College of Family Physicians of Canada, promotes whole-person medicine through a combination of patient-centred care and structured seminars. During clerkship, learners are distributed in over 20 communities throughout Manitoba.
Family Medicine is a wide-ranging discipline, with the chance to impact a diverse spectrum of patients in various communities. Manitoba is one of the most diverse provinces in the country, providing an excellent opportunity to work with patients from a variety of backgrounds.
