and Preventive Medicine
(formerly Community Medicine)

preventive medicine physician
measures the health needs of the community and develops methods of
improving levels of health.

post-graduate training program of the Royal College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Canada. Application can only be made through the

clinical skills in assessment, diagnosis and management of common
medical problems. Specialized training in a variety of
subspecialties which are particularly relevant to Occupational
Medicine will also occur. Year II is broken up into two components:
two two-month blocks of clinic-based activity, and an eight-month
block of didactic work. Year III consists of two six-month blocks:
both involve integrated clinical rotations through a variety of
subspecialty services, including orthopaedics and psychiatry. Year
IV is made up of four three-month placements. Three of the
placements are mandatory: one in government and two in industry. The
resident may select the final placement from a variety of options.
