An initiative of
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:
Our clinical training sites are geographically distributed across the region, and travel to various locations is an expectation of the residency program. Travel requirements will vary by rotation, with some requiring more travel than others. Access to a personal vehicle is beneficial; however, applicants should ensure they have access to any reliable means of transportation that will allow them to travel to any assigned clinical sites. Public transportation may not be available or practical for all training locations, and residents should not expect to rely exclusively on public transit to meet all program-related travel requirements.
