Newly accredited training programs in Adolescent Medicine in Canada
(4/27/2009)
After the recognition by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) of the subspecialty of Adolescent Medicine in may 2007, a subspecialty committee was appointed to outline the new specialy’ norms and requirements. Those documents (objectives, standards…) were accepted in June 2008 by the RCPSC. Thereafter, three Universities have applied to have their training programs accredited by the Royal College. All three programs received accreditation in February 2009 and they are: University of Toronto (Hospital for Sick Children, Adolescent Division) ; Université de Montréal (CHU Sainte-Justine, section de médecine de l’adolescence) ; McGill University (Montreal Children’s Hospital ; adolescent and gynecology program). All those sites have a long standing tradition of training paediatricians and other disciplines but they are now recognized as official training centres for residents who pursue a carreer in the new specialty of Adolescent Medicine. To reach those programs:
