We are looking for applicants with varied experiences in medicine, but also a demonstrable interest in radiology and record of strong academic performance. Queen’s radiology is a close-knit community of residents and radiologists, and candidates should possess strong communication and interpersonal skills as well as an interest in Kingston and contributing to the Queen’s medical community. Residents at Queen’s have access to immense opportunity for hands-on learning, with early and in-depth experience with procedures and advanced imaging, which at some institutions might be reserved for more senior trainees or clinical fellows. We are seeking candidates comfortable with maximizing these opportunities through staff-led and self-directed learning. Endorsements of professionalism and work ethic, particularly in the Medical Student Performance Record (MSPR) and letters of reference are highly valued.
No, on-site electives are not mandatory. While we welcome outreach by medical students in order to get to know our program and the city of Kingston better, you should consider these opportunities to inform your program selection. Not having the opportunity to pursue these activities will not disadvantage you in receiving an interview offer or candidate ranking. Furthermore, we recognize that the pandemic has resulted in the loss of opportunity for on-site electives for applicants.
Radiology residents are responsible for a variety of formal evaluated teaching rounds including departmental Grand Rounds, Journal Club, and interdisciplinary radiology teaching rounds for Radiation Oncology. Residents also participate in informal peer-teaching including “Case of the Week” rounds during Academic Half Day as well as day-to-day mentorship of junior colleagues and off-service or elective trainees. Additional teaching opportunities at the undergraduate medical level are available for interested residents.
Yes, Queen’s University has a fully subspecialized radiology practice based at a tertiary care centre with wide catchment area. There are numerous radiologists who are heavily engaged in research who can provide mentorship and supervision for resident research.
Queen’s University is an advance site for competency-based medical education (CBME) with 5 years of experience implementing a transitional radiology curriculum, which follows the principles and structure of CBD laid down by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. This has allowed us to build much of infrastructure necessary for CBD (Competence Committee, Academic Advisors, assessment platforms) and has allowed our faculty to build expertise in utilizing CBME tools and concepts. As we prepare the curricular adjustments necessary for CBD, this advance experience will ensure a smooth transition when CBD deploys in July 2022.
