Description
PGY 1 - 3
The Endocrinology rotation is primarily an ambulatory rotation based at Hotel Dieu Hospital. However, residents will also be expected to review inpatient consultations during this block.
Residents are expected to attend at least 5 half-day clinics a week including a joint Endocrinology-Obstetric Medicine clinic on Tuesday afternoons. Residents will see new and return patients in the clinic and will review all inpatient consults with the On call endocrinologist.
This rotation is usually staffed with a PGY3 or PGY2 medicine resident. There may also be one clerk.
Residents are expected to attend the regular rounds and conferences during this block.
PGY 4 and 5
The Queen’s University Endocrinology and Metabolism residency training program has been designed to foster the development of the medical knowledge, clinical skills, and professional attitudes residents require to function as competent, conscientious specialists in Endocrinology and Metabolism. Graduates of our program will be prepared to provide patient-centered care and service to a diverse population, equally comfortable embedded in the community or within academic centers, and competent to address issues of gender, sexual orientation, age, culture, ethnicity and ethics in a professional manner.
Our program design is intended to foster in our trainees a sense of social accountability and awareness of the opportunities for change within our health care system. Ultimately, we strive to develop leaders positioned to promote and enhance the healthy living of Canadians.
