Hamilton Sites (MFP, SC and CBRT)

The program emphasizes ambulatory care both in academic family practice centres and in designated community family practices. There are core rotations in the major disciplines of Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, and Geriatrics which are chosen for their appropriateness to Family Medicine. Flexibility is provided by elective and selective opportunities in the second year, and horizontal elective time during Family Medicine experiences in both the first and second year of residency. While on rotations other than Family Medicine, all residents return for two half-days each week, one for provision of clinical care to the resident's panel of patients in his/her Family Medicine setting, and one for a Behavioural Science tutorial.

Hamilton Site Residents may combine their two-month elective rotations into an integrated six-month experience if preferred.  At present, this is limited to second-year Family Medicine and Elective experiences.

All residents participate in Academic Half-Days, Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) tutorials and Quality Assurance activities, during Family Medicine rotations. These activities provide residents with skills they will need when in practice to continue learning and developing as effective practitioners. These activities also ensure residents are effective consumers of medical research, and allow them to apply research to their clinical activities.
