You will be working alongside resident colleagues from across Canada and around the world. Many of our graduates have become leaders in family medicine across Canada.

While working in Kingston, you will be serving a culturally and socio-economically-diverse population. Through horizontal clinics and other rotations, you will work with and advocate for marginalized and vulnerable populations in our community.

While completing your community rotations, you will have access to one-on-one teaching and increasing responsibility under your preceptor’s guidance. You will also interact regularly with specialist colleagues (both residents and faculty members) and develop close relationships. Many of your specialist preceptors will also be family physicians who have completed additional training (e.g. hospitalist or emergency medicine rotations).

At the KTI site, you have access to facilities at the Queen’s School of Medicine, including the clinical education centre and our state-of-the-art simulation labs. You also have full access to the university libraries and other campus resources.

Trainees must be able to provide their own transportation to and from their training sites. Possession of a vehicle, while not required, allows you to make full use of community-based learning opportunities. Our program will provide funding for exceptional travel expenses as required.

• Engagement. We are what we are because of our residents.
• Humble confidence. Our specialty requires both these attributes.
• Team players. While this sounds obvious, the importance during residency can’t be overstated.
