F A Q
(1) How is your program different from St Paul’s?
• Mainly based out of RCH in New Westminster
• Multiple hospitals and diverse patient populations (vs. inner city focus)
• Block-based scheduling
• Fewer learners at teaching sites (mainly community hospitals)
• Extensive elective time (block, longitudinal, first and second year)
• FLEXIBILITY - Vacation, Preceptor choice, Hospital choice
What is commuting like between the different sites?
• Most residents have access to a car (own, car-to-go, etc)
• Public Transit; Bicycle
• Full-day call-back and academic days make for less of a commute
Can I live in Vancouver as a resident in the program
YES
F A Q 2
How will the program prepare me for ‘the beyond’ (ie.
practice, R3)?
• Program flexible, most amount of elective time to tailor learning to your interests
or focus on areas of weakness
• Combo of large academic, small community hospitals and mandatory rural
family experience in 2nd year make experience applicable to urban, suburban
and rural practice
• Great GP mentors that are responsive to any questions or concerns
