| The mission of the Palliative Medicine Subspecialty Residency Program at the University of Toronto is to train outstanding palliative care subspecialists who will use clinical, academic and scholarly skills throughout their future careers to improve the quality of death and dying for patients and family members. The program meets the specific training requirements set out by the Royal College. In the first year, trainees will acquire core palliative care knowledge and skills by rotating through palliative care services in a variety of inpatient, outpatient and community settings. In the second year, trainees will learn about the management of end-stage non-cancer illness through a series of focused off-service rotations. At the end of the second year, the trainee will complete another four blocks of core palliative care rotations during which the trainee will function as a “junior attending” in preparation for their transition to practice. Trainees will have 2 blocks of research and 2 selectives during their 2-years of training. |
