McMaster Pediatrics Residency Program

Welcome from the Chair of the Department of Pediatrics

Welcome to the Pediatric Residency Program at McMaster University!

Our program is committed to providing the best education possible for our residents, teaching skills in the areas of clinical medicine, research and education.

The biggest strength of our program is our faculty, who possess a wide range of expertise, and encourage the culture of collegiality and collaboration found within our Department. McMaster University is home to some of the world experts in evidence-based medicine, and has many leading researchers who are committed to promoting the research activities of our trainees. Our faculty regard residency education as a priority, and are always available for mentorship.

Our residents are highly valued and play a critical role in the care we provide at McMaster Children’s Hospital. The Hospital serves a population of more than 1.5 million people, allowing our trainees to obtain exposure to a diverse spectrum of illnesses and gain valuable experience in a variety of clinical departments. We also emphasise the importance of educational excellence, and encourage our residents to become active clinical educators themselves.

At the end of the program, our graduates are well trained and fully prepared to take the next step of their academic and professional careers.

The pediatric residency program offers many exciting possibilities, and I invite you to learn more about our program and the opportunities that are available to you at McMaster University.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sheri Findlay,

Acting Chair/Interim Chief

Department of Pediatrics
