The program will accept two residents per academic year. As a smaller program, TMU offers residents more individualized support and mentorship from supervising surgeons and more hands-on learning opportunities. A small community of residents also fosters close relationships and a sense of belonging.
Our program is based at William Osler Health System three sites (Brampton Civic, Etobicoke, and Peel Memorial) serving a diverse multicultural population of over a million Ontarians and one of the busiest Emergency Department in Canada. There are also rotations through our affiliate sites – Trillium Health Partners ( Mississauga and Credit Valley), Headwaters Health Care Center, and Halton Healthcare (Oakville, Georgetown, and Milton sites).
The program provides a wide breadth of clinical experience from Acute Care Surgery, surgical oncology, breast, advanced abdominal wall reconstruction, hepatobiliary, advanced laparoscopic surgery, colorectal, endoscopy, critical care and subspecialty surgery (vascular, thoracic, head and neck). We have an affiliation with the Department of General Surgery at McMaster University to provide trauma and pediatric surgery rotations.
Operative exposure will begin early, allowing for close collaboration with staff surgeons and consistency allowing for optimal skill development. With supervision, coaching and guidance provided by our experienced surgical faculty, residents will be provided a safe learning environment to optimal surgical skill attainment.
Formal teaching will take precedence over clinical duties and research participation is required.
Participation in indigenous/ community outreach and global volunteer programs is encouraged.
The program will help to facilitate access to elective rotations during the residency and fellowship positions for graduating residents in good standing.
The TMU School of Medicine currently has clinical partnerships with multiple major training sites:
Residency training will leverage a distributed model which may include training at any of these sites for learning in environments, which include community and clinical settings, urban and rural environments, and inpatient and outpatient settings. While the majority of resident training will be focused in Peel and surrounding communities, additional learning experiences may take place at other training sites within Canada through Inter-University Affiliation Agreements. These agreements are subject to change and result in training at sites other than those that are listed above.
Travel to various locations will be required. Access to a personal vehicle will be beneficial, though anyone with access to a reliable means of transportation is encouraged to consider this program.
