Local Electives

Electives

As part of the two year Gastroenterology residency training program, residents will have an opportunity to complete electives. These electives are generally done in two week increments. 

Trainees can complete either an In-Town Elective or an Outgoing Elective. 

Refer to the University of Alberta's PGME Website  for more details.

All electives must be approved by the Program Director.

Out of Town Electives

Residents and fellows registered in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry are eligible to complete an elective at another university. 

In addition to the PGME Out-Going Elective Registration form, you will require a letter of support from your program. This letter will be provided by your program coordinator.

Here are the steps for arranging an out of town elective:

• Discuss the details of the elective with your program director to confirm the elective meets the eligibilty requirements

• Contact the preceptor or program co-ordinator at your desired location to confirm that they are able to accomadate your request

• Complete the Out-Going Elective Registration form (PGME)

  • once completed, email the form to the GI Residency program coordinator
