At all sites, trainees benefit from clinical and educational collaboration with the Departments of Surgery, Radiology and Pathology. Trainees benefit from the rich training environment of the Michael DeGroote School of Medicine with world-renowned expertise in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Through a series of inpatient and outpatient rotations and generous elective time, trainees gain a broad exposure to clinical gastroenterology and training in all CANMEDS competencies endorsed by the RCPSC. Trainees gain a solid grounding in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of gastrointestinal disorders with dedicated training in nutrition, motility and endoscopy. Trainees have access to state-of-the-art equipment, including a dedicated endoscopy simulator. An endoscopy course for new gastroenterology residents from across Canada is hosted in Hamilton each year by the Division of Gastroenterology.
