Visiting Residency Electives
The University of Calgary Department of Emergency Medicine welcomes visiting elective residents who are currently enrolled in a Family Medicine residency training program in Canada and who are considering applying to our CCFP-EM training program. Electives can be of two, three, or four weeks duration and all electives start on a Monday and end on a Sunday. For the months of July-September inclusive, the department will only be booking 2 week resident electives due to demand. While elective residents usually work at both the Foothills Medical Centre and the Peter Lougheed Centre, residents can also work at our other two adult emergency departments (at Rockyview General Hospital and South Health Campus) by special request. Applicants should apply in writing to calgaryerelectives@gmail.com.
