Program Highlights

We are a medium-sized training program with two to four residents per year. This allows for the formation of close bonds with resident colleagues, flexibility in scheduling and ample learning and research opportunities for everyone.

We have six training sites across the city, allowing residents to gain experience in academic hospitals, tertiary care hospitals, community hospitals and a private lab. This prepares residents for job opportunities in any type of environment.

We offer funding for books, travel to conferences and research.

We have a well-established academic half-day where staff pathologists present a core curriculum every two years. This ensures all essential topics are covered and reviewed at least twice during residency training.

We have a very high ratio of teaching staff to residents, with expertise across all pathology disciplines. They are dedicated and caring. Our residents consistently report that our teaching staff is “one of the best things about the program.”

General Information

Edmonton is known as Festival City. There are activities for every interest year-round. It might get cold here, but we don’t let that stop us from having fun.

We have a diverse group of trainees and staff who have interests outside of pathology that span everything from downhill ski racing to needlepoint to playing in local and international orchestras.

Edmonton is known for its culinary scene. New restaurants find it the perfect place to test the waters, resulting in an abundance of amazing dining opportunities.
