The Division of Palliative Care Medicine offers a one-year Program of Added Competence in Palliative Medicine, jointly accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The program is open to physicians who have completed requirements for certification by either of the Colleges. Clinical experiences include a tertiary-level palliative care unit, consultation services in the home, hospices, and acute care hospitals, and outpatient clinics. Residents also participate in interdisciplinary seminars and rounds, and undertake a scholarly project. Applications to the program are considered in the fall prior each academic year.
