The TMU Internal Medicine Residency Program provides residents with a deep understanding of the field of Internal Medicine through exposure to a wide breadth of patient populations in a community setting. Our large community setting provides unique learning opportunities across a diverse population allowing for experiences across the age spectrum and providing exposure to a wider variety of presentation types. The program offers exposure to various subspecialty areas to ensure that each resident develops a broad range of skills in internal medicine upon completion of training.
Our program is committed to supporting trainees to realize their individual potential. We aim to cultivate a learning culture that is learner-focused and assists the learner in progressive development of competencies across the various CanMEDS roles.
To further the learner centered approach, the program offers elective experiences to cultivate residents’ interests in different areas of medicine. Moreover, the program strives to ensure that its graduates are prepared to work in any setting through exposure to additional rotations in acute care medicine.
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.
