Director: Dr. Malgorzata Rajda

Our Program is designed to prepare Residents to practice as independent specialists in general psychiatry or one of its subspecialties with the necessary knowledge, clinical skills, and attitudes to function successfully as a consultant to physician colleagues and colleagues in other clinical disciplines.

All of the training requirements for certification in psychiatry from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) must be met, and Residents must pass both the written and clinical/oral examinations for certification. Within the program we also strive to provide Residents with all the mandatory training required for RCPSC certification, while retaining choice in elective rotations in the senior years. The ability to review psychiatric literature critically and to undertake at least a modest piece of research work or scholarly activity is mandatory. These overall objectives are achieved through didactic content, research, and various clinical rotations and through regular evaluation processes.
