Training the best pediatric surgeons

The Division of Pediatric General & Thoracic Surgery is committed to education at all levels. Junior- and senior-level learners are a part of our team year-round and engage in activities on the wards, clinics and operating room.

Our staff surgeons have an active role both in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education at Dalhousie University. Junior residents from multiple services rotate through Pediatric General & Thoracic Surgery throughout the year. 

The IWK and Dalhousie University Division of Pediatric General & Thoracic Surgery has been offering subspecialty training in pediatric surgery for over 20 years through resident rotations and fellowship programs. Our graduates practise pediatric surgery all over the world.
