/ Postgraduate Residency & Enhanced Skills Programs

Our mandate is to support our ten teaching units by delivering quality education and training to our residents in family medicine. It has been a busy, but also uplifting and inspiring year, filled with many new initiatives on the horizon.

Following a two-year hiatus, we were able to restore some of our in-person recruiting activities. We met prospective candidates at events during the recruiting season in Gatineau, at the Family Medicine Forum in Toronto, and at Thomson House. As we prepared for the annual Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS), an exercise used to admit finishing medical students to residency, several of our units held in-person site tours, which allowed candidates to meet our teams, tour our units and learn first-hand about our residency training program. These initiatives have been instrumental in recruiting medical students from across Quebec to be matched at McGill Family Medicine.

We have also been working diligently with our teams at the upcoming new teaching sites. In July 2023, we opened our 10th clinic, namely the University Family Medicine Group (U-FMG) Clinique Mednam and welcomed our first cohort of family medicine residents on this site. Our next projects include Vaudreuil-Soulanges, opening in July 2024, followed by Lakeshore in July 2025. All this has involved much networking, planning, peer support and coaching, in collaboration with our teams as we prepare for the exciting opening of these McGillaffiliated teaching units.

The Postgraduate Division is proud to have been able to partner with our Indigenous Health colleagues in the Department of Family Medicine. We have implemented three academic half-day sessions on Indigenous Health and Inuit Health, which are being taught to our R1 and R2s.

Held on June 3, 2022, this annual event brought together residents and clinicianteachers from our nine university family medicine groups. It recognizes the scholarly projects completed by our Family Medicine residents. Close to 200 people listened to the residents present their scholarly work.
