The UBC Division of Endocrinology offers a strong and varied program of clinical training leading to eligibility for Royal College Certification in Endocrinology and Metabolism. In addition, UBC offers the opportunity to pursue an academic career in the form of “clinician-educator” or “physician-scientist”, depending on the interest of the trainee. We encourage a tailored approach to training to meet the individual needs and interests of each subspecialty resident.
For more information, please see the UBC Endocrinology Website at: www.UBCEndo.org
This residency program is for 2 years.
Program length of training does not exceed the Royal College or College of Family Physicians of Canada standard.
The UBC Endocrinology program consists of two years of clinical and research training.
This first year is focused primarily on clinical training, including:
Community Elective — 1 month
The second year is tailored according to the needs and preferences of the individual resident.
Electives (Lipid, Pituitary, Osteoporosis, Community) — up to 10 months
Research — up to 6 months (additional time for research can be arranged for fellows who are pursuing a research career)
Note: Each fellow participates in a weekly Fellow’s clinic, which occurs throughout the duration of the fellowship.
