Kingston - Thousand Islands
The Thousand Islands are a group of more than 1,800 islands in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the border of the U.S. and Canada. A fashionable retreat for the elite in the late 19th century, today the area is a hub for outdoor activities. It’s home to elaborate island mansions such as the German-style Boldt Castle on Heart Island, and Singer Castle on Dark Island, with its Gothic windows and secret passageways.

Foire aux questions

The Kingston-Thousand Islands (KTI) site of Queen’s Family Medicine offers an exceptional residency training experience. We are the largest single-site program in the country, with incredibly engaged residents and a small-program feel.

Kingston is ideally located in beautiful southeastern Ontario, and is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in Canada. My family and I have lived here for more than 10 years now, and we continue to be amazed by this city and love exploring the surrounding region.

KTI offers an excellent combination of urban and rural learning environments with award-winning preceptors. Our supportive education team aims to provide you with the best training opportunities possible and an individualized approach to your residency. Our military and public health streams have been specifically designed around your unique training needs, and our enhanced skills program offers a diverse range of options for residents interested in additional training after completion of their core two-year residency program.

The KTI site is rotation-based with many built-in horizontal aspects. To help ease your transition into residency, we begin with one block of boot camp — an experience designed to introduce you to your home clinic at the Queen’s Family Health Team (QFHT) in historic downtown Kingston with participation in innovative simulation courses to help build your skills and confidence at the outset.

Residents spend six blocks of their first year at QFHT in three two-block rotations, returning to the same clinic, patients, and preceptors. This maximizes continuity of care and allows residents to gradually increase their patient care and practice-management responsibilities over time — a definite strength of our program. Residents return to QFHT in PGY2 for one block as a senior FM resident, providing many opportunities for leadership, mentorship and teaching of junior learners. In PGY2 residents also spend five blocks in community and/or rural family medicine. Other blocks throughout our program include core off-service rotations and three electives.

At KTI, you will be surrounded by a supportive team and have all the training opportunities you need to become a competent family physician — just ask our amazing residents.
