Education
Training the next generation of clinicians, educators and researchers
The Department of Psychiatry provides high calibre psychiatric education to residents, fellows, medical students and mental health professionals.
The five-year residency program trains the next generation of psychiatrists with help from over 100 faculty members serving the child and adolescent, adult and senior populations. On the successful completion of residency, further training opportunities in fellowship and subspecialty training programs are available.
The Department of Psychiatry also offers a two-year Masters in Psychiatry Research. This program equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed as professionals in clinical and neuroscience research concerning mental health and illness.
We offer continuing education opportunities to the members of our department, other departments within the Faculty of Medicine, allied health professionals within the province and sites connected via telehealth.
