The Queen’s Palliative Medicine training program offers a significant diversity of patients and clinical sites:
Our residents benefit from individualized attention and a close-knit group of clinicians and educators with excellent access to the clinical, teaching and research resources of Kingston Health Sciences Center and Queen’s University. Kingston is a wonderful city to live in with great amenities, food, and cultural activities within a small and friendly city.
The majority of training will occur at Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) at the tertiary Kingston General Hospital (KGH) site. KGH is located near downtown Kingston, adjacent to Queen’s campus and Lake Ontario. Some ambulatory clinics may be located at the Hotel Dieu Hospital (HDH) site which is in downtown Kingston or Providence Care Hospital. The Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario (CCSEO) is attached to KGH for ambulatory cancer (oncology and palliative) clinics.
Further training will occur at the Providence Care Hospital (PCH) including our 10 bed sub-acute Palliative Care Unit. All of these sites are located within close proximity of one another with a shuttle running between KGH, HDH and PCH.
