Program Highlights

Our program has a record of excellence in resident education, with many psychiatrists who have won awards for teaching and education. Our clinical rotations are among the most highly rated by residents on a regular basis.

We offer highly individualized learning plans with extensive direct supervision and support from psychiatrists who value their role as mentors. Our academic program (i.e. Interviewing Course, Grand Rounds, Clinical Case Conference Rounds, STACER course, etc) is very well developed and has been noted as a highlight by many residents who have trained with us. The Fraser Health Authority serves the largest (1.6 million) and fastest-growing population of all provincial health authorities. Multiple hospitals including both main teaching hospitals have undergone recent redevelopment or are in the planning stages for redevelopment in response to this growing populations.

Fraser Health has the highest concentration of children and young families in our province. Our hospitals and Psychiatry programs are growing to meet increasing needs, and we have hired over 50 skilled psychiatrists over the past two years to help meet the mental health needs of the citizens we serve. We offer an outstanding environment for clinical education and training with diverse populations which allow broad exposure to all areas of Psychiatry, and dedicated clinical faculty who are deeply committed to education and teaching.
