Emergency Medicine

The McGill Emergency Medicine Program is Canada’s original and premier program!  It is a 5-year program leading to certification from both the Royal College and the College des Specialistes Professionel du Québec.  In addition, graduates are also eligible to write the ABEM exams.

The main goal of the McGill Emergency Medicine program is to develop leaders in Emergency Medicine. The program provides the optimal combination of clinical training, research (5 months), specialized areas (trauma, toxicology, administration, clinical teaching) with ample time remaining to develop a core area of expertise (4 months) and electives (6 months).  Protected teaching time occurs every Wednesday morning.  An evidenced based journal club occurs on the last week of every period.

The program and its offices are based at the Royal Victoria Hospital.  Clinical Emergency rotations are done at the MUHC hospitals (Royal Victoria, Montreal General and Montreal Children’s Hospitals) as well as the Jewish General Hospital.

There are many routes of entry into the program (CaRMS, sponsored Clinical Fellows, return from practice).  This allows for a diversified “critical mass” necessary for learning.
