We offer one of the largest surgical caseloads in the country, with residents sometimes operating five days a week.
We have an excellent learning culture and a track record of research and evidence-based education and practice.
Our faculty has trained in diverse residency and fellowship programs in North America, the U.K., Europe and Australia. Our faculty-to-resident ratio is 20:11.
We consider our greatest investment to be individual talent and we have developed a unique, multi-level mentorship program, which includes a designated career counsellor.
We have a well-established curriculum and transparent, strong partnerships with other disciplines, countries and industry.
We offer established fellowship programs in head and neck oncology, rhinology and pediatrics, giving our trainees opportunities for further training and forging international relations with other fellows.
Edmonton is a great place to live, with safe neighbourhoods, short commutes and wide-ranging entertainment and art venues.
Our program is housed in a centre that has invested in a modern, sophisticated electronic records system.
The city is home to several excellent research institutes, including the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine, the Ray Rajotte Surgical Medical Research Institute, the Northern Alberta Clinical Trials and Research Centre and the Women and Children’s Health Research Institute.
There are also several well-established multidisciplinary programs in the city hospitals, including head and neck oncology, pediatric aerodigestive and aspiration, adult dysphagia and pediatric tracheal reconstruction.
