Postgraduate Medical Education Convocation

The PGME Office is looking forward to the reinstatement of our in-person Convocation Ceremony in 2023! This large, in-person event is a celebration of all final-year residents and clinical fellows. Attendance is optional and registration is required. 

The in-person convocation ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts on June 2, 2023.
