Yes, point of care ultrasound (PoCUS) training is an integral part of our core curriculum. Residents get PoCUS teaching as early as the R1 year with hands on practice at the Skills and Simulation Centre. Residents have the opportunity to learn and showcase their PoCUS skills at the annual Sonowars which is a daylong event with workshops and intra-disciplinary ultrasound competition.
During the R1 year, internal medicine residents will complete 5 CTU medicine blocks. Early critical care experience is offered, and residents will complete one ICU rotation during R1. Residents also complete two blocks of cardiology in their R1 year. The remaining 5 blocks are filled by subspecialty rotations, for example, endocrinology, respirology, nephrology, and many others that you can choose from!
