The Kamloops Family Medicine Residency Program is a 2-year program, fully aligned with the training standards set by the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
We have structured the academic curriculum to ensure the CFPC’s 100 Priority Topics and Key Features are well covered, leaving our residents well prepared to write the MCCQE-2/CCFP Exam. Other topics will also be covered, including WCB, Disaster Medicine, Cultural Education, Medical Leadership, and Billing seminars to prepare our residents for independent practice. Behavioural Medicine, Evidence-Based Medicine and the Scholar Role, and Resident as Teacher are also robustly represented in the academic curriculum, along with case presentations, procedure seminars, SIM sessions, bedside ultrasound and dermoscopy training, and exam-preparation sessions. In the first year, residents will be expected to complete a quality improvement project. Throughout the two years, residents must complete a scholar project and present their work at Scholarship Day.
Residents can do one month of interprovincial or international electives during their training.
Third year training positions are available in the area of Emergency Medicine, Care of The Elderly, Anesthesia, Palliative Medicine, Sports and Exercise Medicine, Clinician Scholars program and a wide range of other category 2 Enhanced Skills programs.
