The Department of Medicine at the University of Calgary offers fully accredited training in internal medicine and its subspecialties including cardiology, critical care, endocrinology and metabolism, gastroenterology, geriatric medicine, hematology, infectious diseases, nephrology, oncology, respirology, and rheumatology. The department has about 60 full time and 110 part-time faculty representing a broad range of clinical and research interests. The Department of Clinical Neurosciences is also fully accredited and interacts closely with Medicine.
Residents may progress to subspecialty training following the three "core" years (such individuals tend to apply to programs across the country as well as to our own). For those physicians seeking careers as generalists, a two year General Internal Medicine program is available. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

| Additional Admission Requirements: | All selection to the residency program is through the Canadian Resident Matching Service. The ranking and selection of residents is based on academic and clinical performance, letters of reference and personal interviews. It is strongly recommended that at least one letter of reference be from a general internist and/or medical subspecialist. Equal consideration is given to external candidates and those from the University of Calgary. |
