As a small to mid-sized program, our Saskatoon pediatrics site offers a diverse array of general pediatric and subspecialty exposures with residents placed at the forefront. The program is highly responsive to resident feedback, and the program strives to ensure an equitable, culturally-sensitive, and highly supportive environment in which to train. On the backbone of strong clinical exposures and academic curriculum, our program all strives to optimize resident wellness throughout the entire experience. Situated in Saskatoon, residents have the opportunity to enjoy the amazing indoor and outdoor experiences of our Prairie Province.
Our program director oversees the Pediatric Residency sites in both Saskatoon and Regina. In Saskatoon, there is also an associate program director (Dr. Erin Woods), while in Regina there is a site director (Dr. Shauna Flavelle).
Pediatric trainees accepted into the Saskatoon site complete most of their mandatory training in Saskatoon except for 1 block rotations in NICU (PGY1) and Inpatient Pediatrics/Community Pediatrics (PGY3) in Regina as well as 1 block of Pediatrics in Prince Albert. Saskatoon trainees may choose to spend additional time in or near Regina in community pediatrics, child maltreatment, developmental pediatrics, Indigenous health, or ambulatory pediatrics. Furthermore, Saskatoon-based residents may spend additional time in Prince Albert, Swift Current, or other pediatric partner sites in Saskatchewan to broaden their pediatric expertise and be exposed to new clinical experiences.
Regina trainees spend time between Saskatoon and Regina (approximately 2 blocks in Saskatoon in the 1st year, 5-6 blocks in the 2nd year, 5-6 blocks in the 3rd year, and 2-4 blocks in the 4th year). Overall curriculum (academic half day, OSCEs, practice examinations, courses and certifications, and other core curriculum) are consistent between both sites.
The overall resident and faculty relationship between the Saskatoon and Regina sites is highly integrated and supportive.
