Our program offers a POCUS boot camp in the first month, a dedicated scanning block with QI of scans, POCUS procedure shifts and an advanced POCUS workshop in the latter part of the year. Residents will have the opportunity to become independently certified by writing their cPOCUS exam.

General Information

The TMU School of Medicine currently has clinical partnerships with multiple major training sites:

Residency training will leverage a distributed model which may include training at any of these sites for learning in environments, which include community and clinical settings, urban and rural environments, and inpatient and outpatient settings. While the majority of resident training will be focused in Peel and surrounding communities, additional learning experiences may take place at other training sites within Canada through Inter-University Affiliation Agreements. These agreements are subject to change and result in training at sites other than those that are listed above.

Travel to various locations will be required. Access to a personal vehicle will be beneficial, though anyone with access to a reliable means of transportation is encouraged to consider this program.
