Welcome

Welcome to the General Pediatrics Residency Training Program!

We are fortunate to have a great team including residents, administrative personnel, allied health and faculty. We all work together to promote the health of children and their families. Some of our strengths include the tremendous clinical diversity, rural and northern locations, international health opportunities, and health advocacy. In fact, as a part of their health advocacy initiative our residents formed a longitudinal continuity clinic in the Maskwacis Cree community. This advocacy project was recognized by the Canadian Pediatric Society and received a CPS Health Advocacy Grant.

We provide services and education in all Pediatric Sub-specialties including exposure to unique programs.  The Stollery Children's Hospital is the referral center for all pediatric liver and small bowel transplants, and all pediatric cardiac surgeries including cardiac transplant in Western Canada.  Our 2 intensive care units (Medical/Surgical and Cardiac) and Pediatric Emergency see a wide variety of pediatric diagnoses. Our residents have gone on to meaningful careers across North America both in the community and as academic faculty in General Pediatrics and Sub-specialties.  

Our program boasts outstanding exam preparation opportunities, personal and academic mentorship opportunities as well as award winning educators. The Department's collaboration with the Women and Children's Health Institute (WHCRI) as well as being the home of world renowned researchers, enables a well supported resident research program.

We are delighted by the opportunity to have you in our program!
