Our program offers junior rehabilitation rotations in the Foundations of Discipline stage, and longer senior rehabilitation rotations in the Core of Discipline stage. Although not required by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, this spiral curriculum allows graduated progression of responsibilities, as well as spaced repetition to consolidate rehabilitation knowledge.
The program includes a particular focus on Clinical EMG training that meets the six-month training requirement for EMG certification on completion of the program.
Longitudinal academic coaching is provided throughout residency training.
Funding is available to attend relevant national and international conferences.
Collegial group of faculty and residents.
New accessible hospital on Lake Ontario.
Residents are provided the opportunity for at least a one-month community rehabilitation rotation in a small to medium sized community outside the academic medical centre.
Residents have first on call responsibilities Monday through Thursday each week, with the exception to statutory holidays. Hospitalist physicians are first on call on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and on statutory holidays.
This residency program is for 5 years.
The Queen’s University, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation program is a fully accredited program, which meets the training requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The program is structured with a mix of block and longitudinal components.
Please refer to the CaRMS program description page for more details about the rotations and stages of training: https://meds.queensu.ca/source/FHS%20PME%20Phys%20Med%20and%20Rehab%20Brochure%202020.pdf
The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency (PM&R) postgraduate training program is five years in length. Residents complete their first two blocks in Transition to Discipline, learning “Rehab Basics.” Foundations of Discipline (FD) is primarily off-service, but residents will have rotations in core PM&R areas as well. In Core of Discipline (CD), residents have the opportunity to revisit these core rotations as a senior resident. Going through the rotations twice allows for graduated responsibility and independence, and consolidation of knowledge from other off-service rotations such as Rheumatology, Neurology and Orthopedic Surgery.
During PM&R rotations, residents will participate in longitudinal rehabilitation clinics, such as Neuromuscular Rehabilitation and Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O). Residents complete 1 block of Pediatric Rehabilitation and 1 block of P&O in Ottawa. Residents complete 6 blocks of EMG, which affords the opportunity to meet the CSCN (EMG) examination requirements.
The Transition to Practice (TP) stage allows residents to focus on career planning and preparation for independent practice. Residents in the TP stage are given opportunities to function as a junior attending, with enhanced responsibilities equivalent to those of a consultant in PM&R.
*Rotation order may vary due to scheduling conflicts and rotation availability.
Funding is provided on an annual basis for educational leave to attend conferences and courses.
