The University of Manitoba postgraduate training program in Endocrinology and Metabolism is a two-year Royal College accredited program in adult endocrinology available to individuals who have already completed approved training in Internal Medicine. Opportunities exist for further basic research training for interested individuals. The program is designed to provide the trainee with a sufficient knowledge base in endocrine and metabolic disorders and the related basic sciences to function capably in a consultant capacity in a community or academic setting. The first year of the program is clinically oriented. Reflecting the predominantly outpatient nature of the practice of endocrinology, emphasis is placed on experience in the ambulatory care setting. Through clinics at the University of Manitoba’s two major tertiary care centres, the Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface General Hospital, as well as the Grace General Hospital, a community teaching hospital, trainees are exposed to a wide variety of clinical problems in diabetes and general endocrinology as well as participating in specialized lipid, diabetic foot, osteoporosis and thyroid cancer clinics. Both sites also have an active inpatient consultation service. Additional rotations provide a focused exposure to paediatric endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, community endocrinology and the clinical endocrine laboratory. A longitudinal resident’s clinic takes place throughout both years, allowing trainees to gain experience in ongoing patient management. |
