General Information

The Psychiatry residency program at the University of Saskatchewan is distributed across two sites and includes our Saskatoon and Regina campuses with approximately 35 residents (20 in Saskatoon and 15 in Regina). Regina provides training under a distributive learning experience with the College of Medicine office, and Associate Program Director (Dr. A. Papish). Regina has had CARMS specific positions since July 2010. The University of Saskatchewan Psychiatry program at the Regina site provides the full spectrum of training requirements for Residents, with the option to pursue additional elective opportunities in Saskatoon and throughout Saskatchewan, if desired.

The program has been developed to provide each trainee the opportunity to acquire the requisite knowledge and clinical expertise in Psychiatry integrating all of the CanMEDS roles, while developing individual academic interests. Structured, supervised clinical experience occurs in a variety of settings and with a wide variety of psychiatric disorders and problems. The Divisions of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Saskatoon and Regina provide academic and clinical experiences for Residents that extends to subspecialty training.

Regina is the “Queen City” and capital of Saskatchewan, and is a lovely city. The city offers world class dining, performing arts and culture, museums, and annual outdoor festivals, and is home to many parks and green spaces. The small size of the city allows for a short commute wherever you need to go. Cost of living is low and housing is affordable. Saskatchewan has a diverse landscape with opportunities to visit lakes, hike, and cross country ski during the winter. There are opportunities to explore smaller towns in Saskatchewan within driving distance from Regina, each featuring their own local business, farmers markets, and restaurants.
