Medical Microbiology Residency Program
The Medical Microbiology residency program is a five year post graduate medical training program in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta. The program is designed to facilitate the development of expertise in clinical microbiology and for residents to acquire broad-based clinical and laboratory experience to meet training requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The inherent flexibility within the program allows it to accommodate and fulfill special interests of the trainee and initiate further advanced training in a chosen area. Completion of the program prepares residents to function as specialists in Medical Microbiology.
Microbiology rotations take place at the Provincial Laboratory of Public Health for Alberta, at the University of Alberta Hospital and at a private diagnostic laboratory, Edmonton Base Lab (previously known as DynaLIFE). Our faculty members have expertise and interest in a wide variety of fields including the core disciplines of bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, molecular microbiology and laboratory management. The trainees are encouraged to participate in research projects in all areas of microbiology, infectious diseases, public health, epidemiology, infection control and laboratory management.
Clinical rotations occur at hospitals and clinics throughout Edmonton.
