The Adult Critical Care Medicine Residency Program at McMaster University is a two-year program. Applicants must have base specialty training from Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, or Cardiac Surgery. Applications will be considered if the candidate is either already certified in one of these specialty programs or will be eligible for certification prior to the end of the two-year program. The number of residents accepted to the program varies each year.
The Program, while utilizing the regional resources of both the University as well as the affiliated teaching hospitals, is centrally coordinated in a multidisciplinary fashion thus reflecting the cross-specialty horizontal nature of Critical Care Medicine in Canada. Recognizing the varied backgrounds of the Critical Care trainees, the program is set up to enable a great deal of flexibility with regards to the details of training. This will insure that regardless of background, each individual, whether emanating from Medicine, Surgery or Anesthesia, will be able to function as an ICU consultant on any type of patient. Thus rotations will vary according to an assessment of the individual's strengths and weaknesses. The program affords the opportunity to fill in gaps, broaden one's experience, and deepen everyone's capabilities.
