Pediatrics and Subspecialties The Pediatric program at McGill University is a 4-year program fully accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Collège des Médecins du Québec. The program is designed to prepare residents for their role as a consultant pediatrician or pediatric subspecialist. The first 3 years of the program form the core training. The final year provides residents with opportunities for subspecialty training or general pediatrics. Typically, 50-75% of MCH residents enter into subspecialties.
