The postgraduate program is optimally suited for self-motivated and assiduous residents, with the aspirations of establishing a community-based practice that will offer a full continuum of comprehensive primary care.

As partners in creating a new kind of health care, we are Better Together.

The two-year horizontal program is built around the fundamental experience of residents providing ongoing medical care for their own patients within the Family Medicine Teaching Unit (FMTU).

• You will manage a mini practice of 125-200 patients that they will inherit from the practice of our graduating residents.
• Throughout the majority of their specialty rotations, you will see your own family medicine patients three half days per week throughout the two years (exception: during the PGY2 Teaching Practice experience, you are not required to manage your patients at the FMTU or attend the academic half-day seminars).
• You will have an opportunity to build and maintain your own family practice.
• You will develop continuing relationships with patients and their families.
• You will sustain your role as a family physician throughout your training.

While maintaining your longitudinal family medicine clinic, you will spend one or two rotations within several of the Trillium Health Partners’ specialty departments, resulting in seven to eleven specialty placements per year. Core rotations include family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, hospitalist obstetrics/women’s health, musculoskeletal, mental health, emergency medicine, surgery, geriatrics or palliative care as well as two-three elective/selective rotation. The flexibility of our second-year curriculum recognizes the need for you to identify your learning objectives and select rotations accordingly.

With seven elective/selective blocks over two years, you are provided with the opportunity to choose the rotations that will meet your learning needs. You are provided with support for completion of your academic project. PGY1 and PGY2 residents will also spend one-half day per week in academic seminars.

Trillium Health Partners - Mississauga Hospital has an expanding breadth of teaching opportunities. Our residents currently assist in teaching Foundations & Clinical Skills students as well seminars for family medicine clerks on their core rotation block. With the Mississauga Academy of Medicine, there are increased opportunities to mentor and teach undergraduate medical students.
