Registration Fee / Tuition Fee
University course registration/tuition fees are paid by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.
The first year of training is dedicated to off-service rotations including: Emergency Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Neuro-Radiology, Pediatrics, Plastic Surgery, and Rheumatology. PGY-1 Residents spend time on-service prior to attending the Toronto Ophthalmology Resident Information Course (TORIC) to help prepare them for the course. The mornings of PGY-2 are spent in a Resident Clinic, with Residents attending sub-specialty clinics in the afternoon. In PGY-3, Residents attend full days of subspecialty clinic. The majority of PGY-4 is spent in the operating room, learning to perform cataract & other surgeries. PGY-5 is a balance of subspecialty clinics and further surgical training.
Our Residents typically perform approximately 300 full surgeries by the time they have completed their training.
Residents can expect to be on call 1 in 4 call whilst on-service throughout their Residency, with the exception of PGY-5 where the call requirement is reduced.
Residents start call at 5:00 PM on weeknights and are expected to address any urgent consultations in the evening. Weekend call is treated as a team endeavour, with Staff Ophthalmologists and Resident Physicians seeing patients together.
