Explore Location

Ottawa
Ottawa is Canada’s capital, in the east of southern Ontario, near the city of Montréal and the U.S. border. Sitting on the Ottawa River, it has at its centre Parliament Hill, with grand Victorian architecture and museums such as the National Gallery of Canada, with noted collections of indigenous and other Canadian art. The park-lined Rideau Canal is filled with boats in summer and ice-skaters in winter.

Resident Experience

Ricarda Konder
PGY2
The highlights of the program are numerous! At the end of PGY1, you will choose a dedicated research or clinical stream based on your career goals – both are equally well supported and equally encouraged, so this program is a great fit for those yet undecided on a specific career stream (i.e. academic vs. community practice). In your senior years, you will have your own longitudinal clinic where you follow your own patients. This program has had a 100% pass rate on the Royal College exam over the last 20+ years of resident cohorts! There are unique opportunities for outreach clinics in Nunavut, and the program has an extremely supportive culture surrounding family planning/parental leave during residency.
