One of our greatest strengths is the dedication that our over 90 emergency staff physicians have to our residency training program. Our physician group includes national and international experts in many fields - all who have a love for emergency medicine and for training residents. The support that is received from this group is evident by way of continuous teaching, coaching, academic support, resources, social events and mentorship for the residents. It is clearly an environment where staff and residents work well together to train and succeed.
We have four full years of Competency By Design (CBD) under our belt and we are embracing it's new educational opportunities. Our current CBD cohorts are thriving in this environment and are now experts and ambassadors for this curriculum.
Our core training sites include the Ottawa Hospital General Campus, The Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
Recent fellowships that our residents have pursued include; Master’s Clinical Epidemiology, Master of Medical Education, Master of Health Administration, Master of Business Administration, Master of Healthcare Quality and Safety, Critical Care, Paediatric Emergency Medicine, Emergency Ultrasound, Prehospital and Transport Medicine, and Geriatrics.

Finally, Ottawa is a fantastic place to live! It is a beautiful urban, multicultural city with great nightlife, fantastic restaurants and active music, arts and cultural scenes.

Ottawa is a city for the active as well with its extensive cycling/walking/cross-country skiing pathways, Rideau Canal, beaches, Gatineau park and nearby skiing.
