This program will award trainees with a strong core of clinical experience in geriatrics. In-patient and out-patient training, alongside a rotation of geriatric psychiatry, will transform trainees into medical experts adept at studying, consulting and treating geriatric patients.

Diverse rotations

This program is made up of four diverse rotations that cover in-patient and out-patient care, 12 months of specialized training, administrative and management skills and consultant training.

Royal College accreditation

This two-year program is accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, which provides discipline-specific expectations that focus on educational experiences, alongside detailed content, assessment and resource standards.

Inspiring facilities

Trainees begin with a three-month placement in the Geriatric Assessment and Rehabilitation Unit, followed by a rotation in palliative care across Winnipeg. The program concludes with a final three-month rotation in the Geriatric Assessment Unit.
