We are fortunate to work with an amazing team of residents, faculty, allied health professionals, and administrative personnel who are dedicated to patient care and education. We work together to improve the quality of life for adults and children with physical and cognitive impairments which result in activity and participation limitations. Our program provides clinical rehabilitation services to a large region, including all of Northern Alberta and parts of the Northwest Territories, and is based in the largest rehabilitation hospital in Canada, the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.
We have a tight-knit group of residents who enjoy socializing outside of work hours. There are many resident-led events, including sporting and wellness events. We have an award-winning program administrator named Liz, along with exceptional Physiatry staff and off-service preceptors, who have developed a great relationship with our program which enhances our supplementary teaching and clinical rotations.
Edmonton is full of amazing places to eat. Prior to the pandemic, the resident group got together about once per month to explore new restaurants and termed it their monthly “polyphagics” dinner. Edmonton is full of friendly people, especially our residents and staff.
The city’s river valley is the largest urban park in Canada, with more than 160 kilometers of maintained pathways and 20 major parks, great for walking, running and biking. The Rocky Mountains are about four hours away, offering endless opportunities for outdoor activities.
The city has a vibrant arts and culture scene with more than 70 festivals, many art galleries, year-round live theatre and numerous live music venues.
