Objectives

The Faculty of Medicine of McGill University, together with its teaching hospitals and other health facilities, will provide the necessary physical and human resources to create a scholarly environment appropriate for the training of medical graduates so that they acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become accomplished physicians and surgeons with the highest moral and ethical standards.

The learning experience inherent to the clinical training offered should prepare the trainees to perform as clinical teachers in an academic milieu, to provide high quality medical services to their community as members of the Health Care Team, and will expose them to a rich research environment.

The trainees' progress will be evaluated at all levels of graded responsibility, to ensure that they have attained the pedagogical objectives and to qualify the trainees for the final certifying and licensing examinations of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Collège des médecins du Québec.

The Faculty of Medicine will also give opportunities for advanced or special training in order to respond to the needs of the university or rural regions.

To maintain its international role, the Faculty of Medicine of McGill University intends by means of contractual arrangements with foreign countries, universities, and hospitals to train residents from other countries in its postgraduate training programs who will return to their home country upon completion of their training.
