About Us

CCFP-EM Residency Program:We are very proud that we were one of the first CCFP-EM training programs in Canada (since 1979). It is a very dynamic and comprehensive 1- year program, affording a well-rounded experience to 5-6 residents each year.

RCPSC-EM Residency Program:Our RCPSC 5-year residency program is highly sought and we have over 50 residents in the PGY1-5 years. Our residents are offered a broad elective and fellowship experience to tailor their training and to cultivate academic interests.

Undergraduate EM Clerkship:This robust clerkship program consistently rates highest by medical students at the University of Ottawa, and we believe that it is the best clerkship experience at the faculty.

Fellowships:We offer training programs in several subspecialties including Point of Care Ultrasound, Research, EMS and Disaster, Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Simulation.

Medical Education Scholarship: Success of our educational programs is attributed to great people and an ever-expanding group of Education Scholars and Med-Ed experts.
